The interesting question I have for you is what do you think is complicated? 1. The algorithm you spent 1/2 a day writing and designing that took me a day using google and common sense 2. The 20k LOC program we then spend a few months writing that contains that single algo in it but yours keeps falling over because you spent all that time learning algos instead of learning how to program Swings both ways! Managing complexity, practical experience and the 'art' of programming are things that are not taught in a degree and far more fundamental and used far more frequently.
