Do you think you have wasted (or are wasting) 4 important years of your life studying engineering? Of course, the actual knowledge you gain in engineering college has very limited value in the job markets.

I graduated in 2003 (I'm old 🙌 ) and we used to think that we are wasting time attending classes. I mean, that was the general feeling most of my friends had.

I want to know from fellow CEans - do you think the same? Do vote on the poll and share your comment below.
