Last week, one of my interviewers asked me the question, "How has your university training prepared you for the job?" I answered, "It hasn't." I went on to explain that many of the languages and technologies in use today weren't developed 20 years ago, and the ones that were are rarely used today. Most of what I use today I either learned on the job or on my own. Also, my alma mater's CS department's primary focus was to prepare students for graduate school, not industry.

What CS courses did I take in college? )
