- brookst 1y agoIf you missed “practice space to learn how to learn and to work with other people”, your understanding is too flawed to forgive the obvious so-edge take.
- backscratches 1y agoI assume that would fall under the listed "knowledge" category.
- brookst 1y agoPerhaps, but to my mind knowledge and skills are qualitatively different.
- bigfishrunning 1y agoI went to a state school, and didn't get much prestige or many connections. I did learn how to be an engineer, and more importantly I learned how to be an adult. I think my time there was worth it. Maybe this is true of liberal arts or business degrees? I don't know, but I don't think this is the opinion of anyone who went to engineering school.
