Yeah, I graduated around 2000 and had to learn how to work on a professional software engineering team.
That doesn't mean my education was worthless—quite the opposite. It's just that what you learn in a software engineering degree isn't "how to write code and do software development in a professional team in their specific programming language and libraries and frameworks and using their specific tooling and their office politics."
