Perhaps it was worth adding the caveat that people who did a CS course actually do seem to use it directly. Practical things like Git and Linux commands are the real thing. CS is somewhat unique in that you actually do what you do at a job, with the same exact tools. You don't use a toy version of a c++ compiler or a version control system, and your computer is as powerful as the one you get at work. Everyone else at uni does things that are not the same thing at all, with the exception of medics who are sent to the hospitals. I built a 1m model of a bridge, and a radio that was fixed to one AM station. I used Cadence for a week to build a CPU with a few thousand transistors. Don't get me started on Economics and Management.
