> College will not prepare you for the job no, it will not, it has a completely different role, the other name "University" gives you a very strong hint about it: what you learn in university is a universal way of thinking, of acquiring knowledge. The dirty secret is it doesn't matter at all whether you learn this by studying human anatomy or the stars blinking above. By the time you leave aside from very basic stuff your specific knowledge will be outdated anyways for multiple reasons. And your assignments are irrelevant to any job you will take, the primary criteria for your teacher when choosing assignments is the ability to grade you fairly and easily on a task with a known complexity. And there's no fast way to do this. We do not know how. There are a few, extremely few people who seem to be born with a mind honed to this but most people are not Terence Tao :D and actually need the five years of university to get there.
