Do you feel that you could solve almost any problem (maybe not even technical-based) given enough time?
Without trying to appear super-arrogant, yes.
What I did learn from university, though (I went to Oxford... that probably helped.. hence a "good" university in my previous post), is that there are many people out there who can solve some of those problems a hell of a lot quicker than I can, with less effort - including things I thought myself really good at. That was a lesson in humility and worth the four years it took to learn it.
