"Real-life world experience has made me a more rounded individual not theoretical classes."
Of course, what one considers to be more well rounded is highly subjective.
"I do understand the arguments for having a broad theoretical background, but I don't want to invent the next Java or C++, I want to solve real world problems."
And to me, being able to invent the next Java or C++ means being able (i.e. having the same skills required) to solve what are very much real world problems, and yet it requires very little of the theoretical background I consider necessary to a well rounded understanding of computers and computation.
