What you learn at a uni is not really about learning a trade, sure it gives you a taste of the basics in many areas, but you will never be an supeb developer (or another profession) when you get out by only attending classes. However, what uni teaches you is how to learn, how to think critically, how important sources are, what to look for to get the most knowledge out of what you read. Or at least that is what it has always been about for me, the process of learning effective learning.
