re: Ben Simmons says he didn't learn anything at LSU, waste of his time

While i’m not a fan of Simmons’ tenure at LSU, i actually agree with his take on the college experience— i dont really feel like i ‘learned’ much of anything either in my 4.5 yrs of school... Dont get me wrong, i absolutely *enjoyed* my time in college, and I wouldn’t trade most of my time at LSU for a 4.0 GPA— but I wouldn’t say i learned much that is of practical use today... I definitely learned a lot about adulting when i got an off-campus apartment with some buddies, and had to figure out how to balance bills/going to class/working a job (hint— i was a horrible balancer) and i learned a ton *socially*, since i was a little sheltered before college, didnt have much experience with women, etc.. But I really feel like unless youre in an ultra-specialized major, you can learn pretty much everything you need to know by self-educating, reading, traveling, etc... I can say though that i’m happy i got the piece of paper at the end, it has helped immensely with my career.
