Is college helpful at all?

Hi people!

Did what you study in college/university (undergrad, grad, MBA, Phd) help you at your current work at all?

P.s.= Here I only mean your coursework during your studies, not alumni connections, networking, clubs, recruiting, brand name etc. For example, my coursework in X helped me in Y in my work.

Thank You!
