It's more your ability to learn. I will probably never need to make my own linked list but learning how to taught me what pointers are.

    I think a lot of it is well roundedness and a good foundation for the later practical applications.

    School put me off going to uni. I don't need to spend even more hours learning about the fucking benefits and drawbacks of token ring networks.

    Government tripling the cost of uni compared to the year before me was also a lot of it. Didn't learn to drive because insurance alone was £2k which I didn't have. Now you want me to spend £9k a year? Haha, nope.

    They tried to make it sound better by saying its like the cost of going to Starbucks every day. That put me off Starbucks too.
