I didn't learn any of those things in college. Maybe you just picked up the wrong things or are you just ignorant of what you really learned?
I learned a good basis in information theory, maths and software engineering.
Besides that I learned to analyze, research, work together on and write about software development processes.
I also met many people who were interested in the same things as I am, and many people who are interested in different things but still in the same field or in a field that touches my field.
And althought I learned how to work for someone else I also definitely learned how to start for myself and build something cool :)
- tinco 14y agoBy the way, the list of questions you pose are not really questions about Computer Science, they are about entrepreneurship and marketing. I get the feeling you're just saying you picked the wrong major, it has nothing to do with wether college is right for you. Anyway to answer your question, I am a recent college graduate and I think I can answer most of those questions and could even if I didn't work at a startup or read HN daily because I have a major in computer science and a minor in entrepreneurship that in my opinion taught me pretty well.
