I studied the downfall of the USSR figuring it might highlight how the USA would decline. I wish I knew less now that we are falling apart.
Say more. I think this would be valuable to write out.
Please elaborate, or point us in the direction of some book, video or resource that might parallel the two? Iβd love to learn more.
There are no books. Im going to work now. If I remember Iβll try to draw some of the more obvious parallels.
The most useful course I took in college was one on how to properly write documentation, although at the time I didnβt really appreciate it as much as I do now. As far as the IT knowledge I gained, most of it was pretty obsolete even at the time so itβs been less useful. I learned more in my first month working than I ever did in 4 years of college.
I donβt have a career, but learning how to gather information and assess it critically has been immensely useful during the course of my life. Definitely worth the three years at university!
Specifics, no. However learning how to learn effectively has served me very well. Critical thinking, problem solving and sorting the wheat from the chaff of information that is helpful are all things I learned in college.
