>>11384449> memorize stuffs from wiki article > yay I have understood it, universities are unnecessary >:(> cant solve simple textbook exercises People who couldn't get into universities often have this cope that studying for a degree makes you a drone, but in fact these same people couldn't pass any exam, even of introductory courses at a decent university
If you can't understand established framework and apply it to solve toy problems in exams, which are prepared by the professionals, then real world problems are surely hopeless for you. The illusion of understanding after reading and doing some meme online tests can make you confident, but what you went through is much less rigorous, less challenging than the course at even a low tier university.
Maybe you believe you are the next Bill Gates, but Bill Gates went to a university. Being a dropout Bill Gates never trusted his company to another dropout. Dude actually tried to kick Allen (the other dropout/ co founder) out, and succeeded. He only recruited people with a degree to for both management and technical positions. In fact Bill Gates handed CEO position to his classmate Steve Balmer who scored higher than him in Putnam exam and graduated magna cum laude from Harvard :))
You can see the same pattern in any company built by smart 'dropout'. They understand people without degree more than anyone. Statistically speaking, those without degree are inferior to those with degree in every aspect, from academic knowledge to problem solving skills. The modern job market reflects that fact. Companies only hire those with no degree and all talk to do menial labor jobs, they make the best drones. Or maybe you think you can build a startup from self studying? lol I hope people arent dumb enough to plan their future based on the belief that they are a statistical anomaly.
