I agree with almost everyone but that one for Peter...enyewe I am also a Computer Science graduate and I have no idea how to install Centos and that other software he talked about But I digress... Most of what we were taught or rather learnt in university has no real-life application, or rather, I can't relate how Compiler Theory and Discrete Math apply in an IT support job Maybe if I would have interacted with systems more or been encouraged to solve problems that don't involve definitions of terms and other such stuff, I'd have been more prepared to think on my feet and problem-solve As it is, it's taken me a year to fully grasp that solving problems involves troubleshooting and trial-and-error instead of being paralysed with fear that I'll crash the server if I enter one wrong command.
