College can become kind of a waste of time.
You learn a lot of things you dont actually use.
Teaches you very little about administrating business, independent on what it is.
Wished that students would have more practice in the market before they graduate.
Students should be more motivated to get engaged in puting what they learned in theory on practice.
More reflection time inside the college walls to reflect on the experience from the market.
Studies + work come together.
