Comment Social Skills, Competition skills (Score 4, Insightful) 302

My 15 year old me is kicking me for saying this, but learning how to integrate into society, listening to other people's thoughts, and learning how to agree and disagree without going all Fox News screamy-shouty goes a long way. Learning to know how to build consensus or at least know when to build consensus (and when to go your own way).

Competition: learning how to win and how to lose without making a complete douche of yourself in either instance. You won't win every battle in the workplace, in your academic endeavors, in your love life; learn how to deal with it, learn how to learn from it, etc.

Learn how to set goals and how to take steps to achieve those goals.

These aren't tech specific, but I'd wager if a student can master any of these, they can do well in whatever field they wish to enter.
