Yet every non-uni worker seems to develop those skills without going to university. It would be interesting to measure. Critical thinking in particular doesn't seem to be taught. I personally believe none of those skills were taught during my own engineering degree. For me it was a lot of simple regurgitation against closed ended test questions. In hindsight mostly a fucking waste of time: a piece of paper to get a job.
