I'm starting to think the reason why most programmers out of college don't know much because most classes don't really seem to teach anything. You learn syntax, and some very fundemental concepts, but you don't really ever go in depth into any particular language. Like with Assembly, we've barely even gotten into using procedures/passing parameters, and the class ends in 4 weeks. Our Data Structures class, you learn that they exist, and we write functions to push and take items from stacks, but we never learn how to actually PUT objects on the stack, take them OFF, and USE the items.
I mean, it seems like they try to teach us some concepts, but I have no real idea of how pointers work in any more of an advanced sense then that they point to a memory location.
It just seems like they try to cram in as many languages as possible in your four years and wish you the best without teaching concepts, relationships, and similiarities between the languages.
