This is so god damn true. My best engineering professors were usually 65+, and spent all those years before becoming a professor actually working their fucking asses of.
Actual real world experience will beat the fuck out of people who only learn in a classroom. Hence why experience is one of the biggest factors for getting a job. My boss says he hates hiring people who are out of college and have never worked a day in their life, you spend more time unteaching them than you do getting anything done for the first year or two.
For those of you in college right now, get an internship any time you can and work your ass off. Work experience is a stronger foundation for your career than your classroom hours.
