Answer 1

Buena frase, Ray, y cierta en muchos casos. Aprendí muchas cosas en la universidad, casi todas ellas muy interesantes, pero creo que de todo lo que aprendí, no utilizo ni un 1% cada día en mi trabajo. Creo que si me hubieran enseñado gramática del español, me hubiera resultado mucho más útil, jajaja

I agree , it would have been better to have been taught many more practical things and in a general sense , it makes one sometimes too tunnel visioned. - ray76, Mar 30, 2012

I don't know. I went back to school and got my degree. Now, I make over 2x what I made before. I think a lot of times it depends on what your degree is in. My son-in-law majored in theater and can't find a job! My degree is in Accounting. - kdrinning, Mar 31, 2012
