@squishymage42 exactly! The whole approach of college-style education is to teach fundamentals and create a person who has the base ability to effectively learn to practice within their chosen field. This is a good thing, even if it’s definitely not the only path.
It’s weird to think that path is broken because it’s not another path.
Maybe because I didn’t go the degree route, I’m missing something. But “oh no, you graduate and have to still learn things!” seems like such a weird take.
Vocational training exists, if we just want to learn specific skills. You go to college for something different than that.
Heard someone say that because CompSci degrees focus on theory and concepts rather than marketable skills, graduates enter the workforce and are frustrated because they have to learn on their own.
But… that’s the point of a degree program? Learn foundations so you can self-teach skills or have better outcomes from skills training
