Yep. University was also a scam for me. Learn nothing that couldn't be learned by myself. Hell, many courses I passed thanks to youtube videos, teachers failed to teach me how to pass their own class.
yeah, i'd already worked in my first field for fifteen years before i went to grad school for it (one of the benefits of a nontraditional career path). i learned one or two things, but honestly it was a waste of my time. If they'd put those two things in the same week, i could have tested out of that entire damn degree.
