I'm always amazed by how many people claim to have learned so little in college. It's not that I don't believe them; I just had the complete opposite experience. Perhaps I'm just slower than most here, but I studied science and engineering in school and it was HARD. It took so much effort, but I learned a ton. I'm a programmer these days, but most of my analysis skills come from the education I got in college and grad school. I've learned a lot since then of course (especially about how to design code), but I attribute most of my (modest) successes to my education.
