I'm 24 years old and I'm one exam away from finishing my master's degree in computer engineering and I realize that if in these 5 years I had done a practical specialization course in a certain field and then gone to work, now I would have much more experience, skills and a better resume. Instead all I have done in these 5 years is to learn theoretical notions that I have already forgotten, without acquiring practical knowledge. I've taken many exams on different topics, but all on a theoretical level and now I find myself unable to do anything on a practical level.
