Yeah, I get this. I wasn't talking about project based stuff and problem solving, I was referring to the silly things undergrad involves. What good is paying taking boring irrelevant classes that aren't related to what I'm paying to learn about? I still haven't worked that out. I guess it's to obtain an accredited degree. But shouldn't I be paying for knowledge instead of a piece of paper? I've found it's best not to think too deeply about it, lest I drop out in my last year of academia and become a choreographer or whatever it is happens to people who drop out of school.
I don't mind running lots of wire though, that's very zen :P

"Irrelevent" Classes are to college as boring tasks are to jobs. I could take the exact same argument you're making about classes and put it into the context of a workplace: "Why do I have to write all this boring documentation? I just like coding, isn't my job title programmer? Don't you pay me to code? I'm not a novelist. I don't understand why I have to write all this documentation when I'm a programmer!"
