> I can confidently say that while experience in the industry is great (having worked part-time at a startup, as well as various internships during College), I think the knowledge gained from University classes is often underrated.
100% agree. Great advice. I never went to University, in my case for reasons that I prefer not to mention and it has been a constant source of regret. I wish I had a time machine.
- c7DJTLrn 4y ago+1 on this. Left school at 16 to do an apprenticeship, then went straight into industry. As a result, my social life is like a withered plant. Don't waste time and money on education you don't need, but also don't grow up too fast. You only get one life and one chance to be carefree.

- iopq 4y agoI went to college and didn't have a social life. Maybe it's on us
- Moissanite 4y agoIn college/university, the social life is there for the taking, and you just have to let it sweep you along. As an adult, finding the same number of acquaintances takes an immense amount of effort.
