Networking was the key for me. What we covered in the courses was irrelevant in the real world. There were a few profs out there who were pretty much out of touch. Jumped through the hoops and made lots of connections. The piece of paper does come in handy, though. Shows people you can jump through the hoops and play the games.

Then again, this was decades ago. Shit may be different nowadays.


Aside from the connections, I learned a shit load from other students - some who were not even in my field of study. Met people who helped me open my eyes, so to speak. Campus life, gotta love it.

Dirty look from MG1 can melt steel beams.
