    A lot of places around here do a bootcamp thing and hire students out of high-school that do well since they say a lot of what they need isn’t taught in college or university exactly they teach on the job

      I have a CS/Engineering masters and while I really enjoyed learning everything, most of it is academical. I also don’t think university needs to be geared purely towards the job market, that’s a really sad perspective. But I think we need to be more transparent about it, specially to 18 year old going to college, that the degree isn’t preparing them for the job market.

      Less true of pure programming, but operations isn’t taught in any colleges. It’s a different mindset and finding those people is tricky
