For me studying for my master’s was the more fun part than studying for my bachelor’s. The bachelor’s studies included a lot of obligatory subjects that were less interesting to me, or choices that didn’t include any fun options.
In the master’s studies we were free to specialize much more. There was lots of work, but it was interesting. Like building a small OS. Or reading the newest networking papers and discussing their merit. Or implementing congestion control for ourselves, and playing around with ideas on how to maximise its efficiency.
Now I’m a network engineer at an ISP and things are much more practice focused and I had to learn a ton that wasn’t taught at uni, or was taught to electrical engineers instead of me, to get into things, but it’s still fun and interesting.
I don’t know what the difference is, or how to get my outcome instead of the 4channers, but I just wanted to share an opposite anecdote.
