Uneducated youth
Everyone is complaining about a large number of people who want to become IT-specialists and a very small number of specialists. Here they are the problems in the first person of these people.
It so happened that after graduating from grade 9, I entered college in the profession "Applied Computer Science by Industry". The college is a branch of a good institute in the northern capital of our country. The choice was conscious and since childhood I was interested in computer science. After enrollment, joy knew no bounds. I imagined myself sitting at a computer in some cool office while creating a program. But as it happens in life, it hits where you do not expect.
Education in such an institution is standard. There is a curriculum, there are teachers who are obliged to follow it, session, course, next course. The first course of our college is in grades 10-11 with advanced mathematics and computer science. But already in the first year I began to be surprised. In pairs of informatics, we were forced to write notes on the keyboard. They made me do laboratory work on the topic "Registering mail in the yandex service." I thought this is the first course, a normal phenomenon, not everyone is so smart, everyone needs to get the basics of using a computer. And with a calm soul, he moved on to the next course.
Here it is! New subjects, teachers, higher mathematics and management. In the first weeks, everything was not bad, and then everything turned into complete nonsense. We were taught mathematics in the form: "Here are the formulas of the derivatives, here, there, the answer." Well, I learned to solve them, but I did not explain why I needed them. Each new page of the textbook was presented exactly in this way. How can students be interested in a new topic by simply presenting new formulas for new examples? Sometimes you get confused how they differ from the previous ones, if the teacher showed the use of derivatives in life and showed their importance, it would be much more interesting to study the material, and it would be delayed for a long time.
Management, taught directly from the Internet. The teacher opens the book on the Internet and dictates, and we record. This method is quite popular among teachers and 90% of theoretical classes are conducted in this way.
Math ended, other specialized subjects were added. The theory remains the same, laboratory work on html and basic throughout the YEAR. They inspected about peripheral devices or about a word processor notepad. Agree, probably, you do not expect in the penultimate course that you will be taught to type in a notebook.
An interesting subject “Software Maintenance” has appeared. On it, we passed 1C. Hurrah! Something needed. As I was mistaken, because we just threw instructions on the computers with examples and told to complete in a whole year. Not only that, the instruction is not suitable for the version of the program, so the teachers themselves did not understand the program. As a result, the whole year entered data in 1C.
There was an Access database. Here I can say thanks, the teacher was good. He told, showed and advised. It was obvious that a specialist was talking to you.
At the end of the year we were sent to practice. An entire article can be devoted to this topic. In short, we were sent to all X players. They put marks and seals at the end. And then I fantasized about the defense, how hard I went through the practice.
Now I am in the last year of my school. Everything remained the same, except that Lazarus was added and the writing of the thesis. I want to say that they taught me nothing. All that I learned is a consequence of psychos, from the fact that they do not teach me anything. From this, the motivation for self-education really arises. Although thank you have something to say.
I do not want to scold the teachers, although out of my eight computer science teachers, only two were good. I am eager to curse the outdated education system and the process of accreditation of educational institutions. Indeed, in July of this year I will receive a diploma where “Programmer” will be proudly written. Cool! How do you like the programmer in 2018? I can register mail and type in notepad!
Accreditation is a separate story. “Serious” people from the university come to us, give tests and check documents. The documents are all put in order in advance, and the answers to the tests we received an hour before the arrival of these same "serious" people.
People offer to enter a university, or else, they say, you study in the outback. I have been interested in entering a university for a long time, but with every new article I read, commentary and feedback from my friends, my desire disappears.
Do not look for college education. Here you will find the basics of the basics. Women of about 50 who teach the subject "Computer Architecture" and with it you will be making a crossword puzzle in excel. And on another subject, you will write an electronic notebook in word, where you need to insert a definition of computer science from the Internet. If you refuse to write the definition of computer science on a computer, they will force you to write in a notebook.
Now, after graduation, they will send me to serve the Motherland. After the service, the moment comes to choose the future path of the ninja. Go to work as a layout designer, go into freelance? And can enter a university?
For the sake of crust, I don’t really want to go to university. I hope that if I am brought into the higher education institution by the tail wind, I can find new friends, good teachers and get good knowledge there. It’s time to come to terms that even after graduating from a university, without independent training, you can’t become an IT specialist.
You will tell me that now, they say, you entered a vocational school in a village and complain. I will answer that you are absolutely right, but only if the same thing did not happen at universities.

First course

What do I mean by that?

Of course, they gave some useful knowledge, but in terms of the effectiveness of knowledge / time - in a deep day.- liked the comment.

What should I do next?
Now, after graduation, they will send me to serve the Motherland. After the service, the moment comes to choose the future path of the ninja. Go to work as a layout designer, go into freelance? And can enter a university?
