I think you meant to have a 'not' in there somewhere.

I've learned a lot on my own -- networking setups, server administration, all that stuff. The only thing I really got out of uni was how to structure code and use good data models instead of being all haphazard about it. I don't mean to downplay that; it's really important and all, but I have learned a hell of a lot more on my own than I ever could in a classroom.
