Actually, would it be safe to say that the things we learn in
school are actually not so relevant when it comes to actual work?
For instance, you learn how to work something out using a certain
formula in school. But when it comes to work, the people in your
company may have a different formula, something that suits the
company's needs etc. and therefore you have to start learning
again?
It feels like.. what we learn in school is very, very basic and
nearly only to prepare us so that we can pick up actual skills more
readily. If you were a really diligent student, only then what you
learnt back then in school would give you an edge over the
rest?
