#2 - gotta be Loosiana #3 - Used to have a Berner who would go up to where the fence used to be (being rebuilt), ,and just look out. Would not cross the line to save his life. #9 - me after my fourth cup of coffee
JFM: By my calculations, I spent more than 8000 hours on my university course load and homework (I was CS, so I spent long hours in the computer room) and that does not count the three months a year I worked to make money to support my college life. Another 400 hours in my CS class in high school. Another 2200+ hours a year in my first several years of employment as an understudy for a brilliant computer scientist. Then, I don't know how many hours over my professional life learning new techniques, programming languages, operating systems, and industry models (oil & gas exploration, pipeline operations, refinery/production control and automation, electrical utility regulation, financial services/accounting, insurance, and hospital management). I cannot count the number of hours saved professionally because I had a good, basic grounding in algorithms and analysis I got from my college education.
I am not arguing that some college education is not a waste, but the hours I put in to become a proficient (some said expert) software geek were huge and the ongoing continuous learning involved consumed a good part of my life.

ReplyDelete#10: Damn! Give that man a cigar!
ReplyDeleteNice, but will it pay off a student loan?
ReplyDeleteMost useful skills don't require a college indoctrination. Ask me how I know.
DeleteIt was 6000 hours, classroom and OJT, before I turned out as a journeyman carpenter. How many hours does a college degree take?
