One word. Crap. I don't even remember the specific names of the topics, just methods, methods and methods that cannot be applied to daily life, nor are of any use to me when working in society. This is a result of voracious spoonfeeding, the students know how to do, but do not truly understand. That is what a professor told me during a university open house.

Try doing this everyday at extreme level for a period of 2-3 years. It sticks like glue to the head and won't come off. The only thing you forget is what they are called.

Most of all, you have to be disciplined and you have to save, even if you hate our current financial system. Because if you don't save, then you're guaranteed to end up with nothing.
