I agree with the bold part. But nothing of this was taught at my University. They said we want this, go and do it, and here is the marking criteria.

The CS degree one, I actually met, and I can verify did not know how to fix a PC. No idea why or how they're doing CS. The other was from someone I trust.

Don't we all know someone who did that? You sound very bitter.

If networking is so important, what's the point of University?
I sound bitter....lol Would you be nice and happy, if you just finished 3 year degree, and came into a job market so overloaded with people who need a job that you cannot find one.
University didn't teach me anything. Everything, I learned was self-taught. All University has been good for me is having a piece of paper which says "He did this degree" to an employer.
University doesn't prepare you for the job market at all.
