Specifics, no. However learning how to learn effectively has served me very well. Critical thinking, problem solving and sorting the wheat from the chaff of information that is helpful are all things I learned in college.

This is going to be (or should be) the answer for a great many people. College is way less about the content of what you learn and way more about understanding how to learn, how to problem solve, how to handle pressure, how to self motivate, and how to begin to be an adult in the world.

I don't even have a career in the field of my major. But I use lessons I learned in college every single day.
