I don’t completely agree. My degree is in computer science and during a 37 year career i wrote exactly zero compilers or operating systems. But that wasn’t the worth of college. A good part of the worth is in teaching you - forcing you - to think.
37 years ago we could not give grade school kids tablets more powerful than the IBM 3033 mainframe that cost $3,000,000 in 1980.
37 years ago there were not 67,000 free public domain works in Project Gutenberg. PG only had 2000 works by 2001.
