You can imagine how much these retards piss me off being someone who's self-taught in two programming languages and partially learning a third
Yeah this made me think a bit and realistically, for me as well, the skills that have paid the most dividends for me in life are ones I taught myself on my own time. While going to school for chemistry and mathematics for years helped land me a nice career, I frequently tell people that there the 95+% of it is useless to me and that all the knowledge you need for my job could be taught in under a month.
Formal education institutions are disgustingly inefficient. I can forgive it to some extent through high school as most of the little shits don't even wanna be there, but in college there's no excuse not to have the highest of standards.

College used to be much harder. Then they figured out how much money they could make if they lowered their admission standards and jacked up tuition. Now it's basically high school that you pay the price of a house to attend.
