MODERATORS
people always act like you're going to directly use stuff you learned in class "in the field" (think about how antiquated that term is, my god) and you're really not; every place has different standards and expectations. and the day-to-day is usually more trivial and doable than the raw theory in school -- i feel like most people could do most jobs if trained well by someone competent at them
I am living testament to this.. i have blagged my way into several jobs (had some knowledge but not the qualifications required) and have done pretty well for myself learning as I go. I always say "Just treat me as if i know nothing, I won't be offended, i want to learn the way you do things here" and employers/managers seem to love that..
However i must stress the fundamental knowledge was essential. along with an interest and desire to learn.
Agree entirely.
I am in my 40s, have two bachelor's degrees, got my second SPECIFICALLY in my field, have changed job directions half a dozen times within my field (because money talks), and have used nothing from college that I couldn't get in a month long certification program.
I've gotten way more out of getting the respected industry specific certs than I did in more than half a decade of school.
I've gotten a thousand times more skills from learning on the job from colleagues and working managers than college and certifications together.
