    Like… Literally any of it. I’m a software engineer and my degree didn’t have anything to do with software or engineering.

    I’d have to really stretch to something like “time management” or “active listening” to find any connection, lol.

      Computer Science was great dont get me wrong, but I totally agree. Comp Sci helped with some of the basics, but didnt prepare you at all on the soft skills that get you ahead, nor why task management, version control, and other such concepts are so important.

        I can’t believe in my comp sci course they never went over git. Like cmon that’s core to software development these days.

          I like to think of it as Computer Science. Don’t need to know Git, if you’re at best researching how programs could theoretically be implemented…
