As a college grad, I was disappointed when my son chose to pursue a career in metal fabrication. I was dead wrong and have told him so.
At 33, he’s “retired” from NHRA engine component machining and now manages a large machining operation making planetary components for Caterpillar.
Since, I’ve refined my viewpoint. If asked, I offer this to kids: “Go to school to learn how to do something. Don’t go to school to learn about something.” In retrospect, I went to college - where I learned how to build electronic devices and write code.

You are correct. You went to college at a time and in a field that taught “how”. Now most colleges only teach students “about”, and most of that teaching is incorrect.
