"Real life has no curriculum".

~80% of what I've learned vocationally, came after school, under the informal mentorship of seasoned practitioners.

Arguably the #1 exportable skill you gain from college is metacognition - learning how to learn. So that the next time you find yourself staring into a "I have no idea" moment, instead of being stuck, you'll be able to iteratively expand your mental map of the territory; form and test hypotheses; sketch out needed or missing tooling, etc.
