The single most important thing I learned at a university was making my own research.

Teachers were shit, but they assigned me a ton of near impossible homework, so I had to find a solution somewhere.

I didn't have to check sources or any of that shit. I had to look at a website and quickly judge if it is a proper resource for my problem. And I spend hours every day doing just and only that.

That was education. A true first step into 21st century.
