One also acquires a certain "humility" in having to deal with professors who may not jibe with one's agenda. Good for teaching socialization skills which eventually translate into the workplace team building.

The military is set up in this way with simulations to teach physical and other skills which eventually should translate into workplace team building. Hard situations harden one's skills. Iron sharpens iron etc.

However, professors and senators are notoriously poor examples to play the role of facilitator. The military is better, because the situational arrangement has a place where excellence is encouraged. Too many sectors of our society no longer have this in place. Putting up with sh!t is no guarantee that anyone has taken you by the hand well enough toward wisdom. In other words, you'll learn to get along with no place to go.

That same humility and socialization skills along with team building can be learned doing a job that requires several people to get it done with a boss in charge.

Actually, it is better learned this way because it is being directly taught and put into practice in real life at real time. In class if you don't learn these skills you get a "F". In life if you don't learn these skills you get "F"ired.
