It is difficult to say this without sounding arrogant but my god did I suffer during my college years because of this.
Every class, every project, every assignment I felt damn I already know all this.
It also makes team work a torture. I didn't want to ruin other people's experience by being the know it all guy.
So I just avoided teamwork as much as I could because pretending that I'm challenged by the question/project
got even more depressing.
Having to pay thousands of dollars for it makes it even harder (I simply had to do it as I'm not a citizen).
I'd think man there's so much more that I could do with this money I'm paying for something I already know.
That's not to say I think I know a lot, in fact I think I know very little but just that the college wasn't providing anything new for me (and yes it was one of the top ones).
I'm learning more by reading books and posts on the internet, hacker news, etc... and by doing actual work in the industry.
