Students/grads, what did school teach you? Is community college enough?
Interview Experience
Do you guys remember what you were taught in school? Or if you're still in school, what major things have they emphasized? Maybe a better question is, what do you think were the most important things/skills you learned? Or what do you wish they had taught you before you got into the workforce? I'm finishing up my junior year of a BAT at a community college (in the middle of nowhere) & having a little bit of a crisis. I talked to one of our transfers and the tech school he came from sounded way cooler, more hands-on, more useful topics covered. He was really dissatisfied with the class we had together, and since I've been so focused on trying to keep good grades I hadn't even thought to criticize the curriculum itself. I know it's a huge field so I can't learn everything in four years, and I know, buzzwords aren't everything, "being willing to learn is more important than pretending to know it all," I've heard that before. Something still feels missing, but I don't know what that would be. I'm not taking a summer class, so I was thinking I could at least try and build on what I've learned in my free time.
