In university, most of your classes won’t translate to your career. You’ll learn language skills as you write essays, sure, but no one’s going to ask you to write a 20-page screed on Proust in any marketing department. You might learn statistics skills or some algebra, but you won’t learn how to do your taxes.

So how about learning from the pros? Oates is a Princeton professor as well as an author so, when she needs to be in class, she puts in a 45-minute stint before breakfast.

You put hours of effort and study into learning a certain subject inside and out. You probably can’t remember when you last put the knowledge you learned in university to work in your everyday business affairs. You’ve probably forgotten half of what you learned, too.
