What's shocking to me is how little practical exposure folks get during University. People go through University without knowing what an RFC is. During my time, I had three or so really interesting courses. One on algorithms. Another one on networking. A third where we wrote our own OS from scratch.
The rest were mostly fluff. Interesting fluff, and good background material, but very little useful stuff.
The interesting things were available through student societies, and if you managed to get to work at the University's IT department.
