 It doesn't matter what school 'teaches' you because it has almost zero application to real life and how real life actually works. 


If I could have all the time from school back I would skip that valueless part of my life and go straight to building my life, my business and my portfolio. I'd be retired alot!!! faster if the school system knew anything valuable.

Because everyone's goal in life is to own a business, invest in the stock market, and retire as fast as possible? Right. There are plenty of professions that honestly require a formal education: engineers, doctors, and lawyers are a few more "practical" examples. Behind them creating the framework which they rely on are research scientists.  And I say this as somebody very critical of "schooling."
