exactly.

employers want to be able to know that a person can stay committed to a task, put forth effort, feel compelled to complete something.

Nothing I learned in college has applied to any of my jobs on a consistent basis. I need 2 classes to graduate and have over 15 years experience working in my field and I have to out perform to get a job that doesn't pay as well as the one I could get if I had not been as those two jackasses who are so smart they are going to drop out of college because they already know everything.
