For me, the result (a Bachelor’s degree) did not open any doors, however, I don’t regret it. I met many great people, and grew academically. Attending in the early 80’s was not the greatest time.Computers were just becoming a ‘thing’ then and most work was done by hand. I took a computer course in programming and we had to use punch cards each of which held 80 characters. If you messed up the order you were screwed. But, exposure to great professors, smart students and lifestyle put you in a place where you could be successful and if you followed the ‘track’ laid out by the university, you would have comfortable life.I did not follow that ‘track’ I forged my own path, and it’s had its ups and downs, but my experience at U of T gave me a foundation from which to build my professional career
