Skills learned in College

Having recently graduated from university in the US, I realized that I now possess a certain set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. One such technical skill I learned in college was how to properly open a can for shotgunning. Wouldn't believe how many people can't open a proper shotgun hole. Probably keyed 300+ beers.

Curious to know what other skills college taught this community.

Shotgunning, borrowing pencils, and getting an 86 rounded to an A

I took honors calculus and received an 89.4 in the class for a B. My professor wouldn’t let me do any extra credit and said I was out of luck. If I just had gotten one more question right on the final I would have gotten an A. Sucks.

So you have 0 FT work experience yet you have a very long career?
