Now that I'm over 5 years out of school, I'm struggling to remember specific lessons that I learned. Really I just mostly remember vibes and talking one on one with professors. Is there anything that you remember from college days that is still impacting you today?

Not really. I got the degree and that's all that really matters. Everything else is just details and all of my on the job training has taught me infinitely more than school ever did.

That's how I feel! I still liked school but getting into the job really jumpstarted my learning.

This is the flaw in GPAs. You could become a master at the topic after the course or forget everything about it. But what you did in that specific frame of time for that topic is stamped forever.

Great point!

There are some things I remember from classes, but I'll admit a lot of them I remember for the wrong reasons. The discussions that were particularly inane are the ones that stuck in my mind. There were some classes that inspired me to do a lot of reading on my own. That was good, but it meant I spent a lot of money to wind up teaching myself. Brilliant.

Interesting thought
