True. In my experience, the professors really worked hard for the development who had the desire to go beyond the required material. It's just that the average student will never think about going beyond what is required for the class.

Surprise! College is supposed to teach you to be proficient at what most of their students end up doing: working at the corporate level. Whether or not you have the desire to go and do your own thing is really up to you.
At one time I was extremely dissatisfied with my college's cookie cutter curriculum. But I realized that this setup is built to get you in the job market. It was up to me to do the extras.

I'm driven the desire to be the best at what I do. I get this drive from my dad, who owned a plumbing company. He always told me that he obviously didn't originate the concept of plumbing, so he can't take pride in inventing it, but he took a lot of pride in being the best.
The service that I'm offering is only a tiny bit unique but I take pride in my execution. I don't think that I could feel this level of satisfaction while working for a boss.
Thanks guys, I think I will learn to put something together myself because I do think it's very important to be able to get my hands dirty in any situation. Any suggestion for languages.
