Couldn't agree more. It also bothers me that schools teach a lot of bullsh*t to students rather than actually teaching them useful material. Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of great courses that students take that definitely helps them out, but not enough of them or at least not enough of the important ones.

I too preferred to work by myself on school projects, there is only a handful of people who I can actually work with.

Those are everywhere :D

Quote:This is the worth kind. Once they’ve gained trust they wait for the real smart people to join them and abuse their work.

Sadly this has happened to me a lot, in which I then stop assuming other peoples qualities just like you said:

Great post!
