I have not is used a single thing I learned in class l in what I do now. I didn't learn my language there (English through games and movies, Mandarin through my mother, Malay through the people I interact with, German through Duolingo), didn't learn my math (useful ones at least) there, certainly not the skills I have now that is ESSENTIAL to my life and work. Honestly I feel kinda glad that I didn't get to university. Not to be arrogant but I feel like the best people my age (23 years young) are all non-graduates, unless you're a technical professional (doctor, engineers etc.), Bosses aren't gonna choose you with a "Bachelor of business administration" over that 'dropout' who has been hustling for years managing people and establishing professional network.

While some jobs require a bachelor's degree,you're right,it doesn't matter what degree you finished. I'm an engineering gradiate but I work in IT due to lack of job availability for me when I graduated. The only time I was able to ever use Calculus was when I taught part-time.
Yep.. thanks for seeing eye-to-eye with me. I'm not trying to talk down on graduates, no.. it's not an easy thing too to be in a high pressure environment and absorb so many academic knowledge in a sort span of time. However im just sharing my observation that really, other than specialized-high-skill jobs, most of the time those knowledge never gets applied in the real world.
Looked over at your profile and wow! you've got some amazing posts! im following!
Thanks much!
Thanks for the great input! As someone who was at University and decided to leave it, I can agree with you. I had like 10 years of English study, but only became somewhat good at it once I left school.
