Lol of course not. That's why I stopped going to university.
I got my 3 year training on the Job and now I'm not only more experienced and more qualified than any bachelor or master, thanks to cisco certificates I'm even more decorated.
Sad though that employers don't know how the world works and will always prefer people with a useless university degree.

EXACTLY! The jobs I want ALL require a Bachelor's degree. Otherwise I'd just say F it. What's your job?

Network admin and soon consultant in IT security.

It's nice that in germany we have job degrees that are also  well accepted. Most job requirements read "bachelor or comparable degree in this field".

I can't really blame them though. With a university student you have at least guarantee that he's not completely retarded. You don't have that guarantee with any other degree. Which is exactly what they're looking for.

It's absolutely not about WHAT you learn at university. It's about THAT you learn it and on your own and under pressure. Those are the qualities employers are looking for. You can easily mold a college graduate. With anyone else it's always hit or miss.
