Tell it, Greenhorn.

I also used to believe that one of the main purposes of university (or at least the more practical programs) was to prepare people for the working world, as kind of a proof that you're capable of being taught. However, now having had some experience at the other side of that table, I no longer believe that even an engineering degree proves a damn thing, although I suppose it's still useful as a weed-out tool.

We've gone off-topic here, but anyway, right now my best philosophy towards a university degree is that it's a "50% off admission" coupon. That is, someone without a comp sci or eng degree is going to have to show twice as much worthwhile experience as someone who has one. But no matter what kind of a discount you're getting, you can still be fucking broke-ass, and a whole lot of people are.

Jenny, you know we engineers love nurses, but c'mon, like, seriously, it's not like you actually do any real work.
