I'm pushing 60 and university is STILL one of the most formative events, if not the most formative event, in my lifetime.

Say I majored in physics and went on to get a masters in fine arts and became a world-renowned screenwriter, would you call me a mathematician? That’s argument is equivalent with claims that Cook is a software engineer.

Anything you do in your twenties ends up being the most formative in general.

Sort of my point, saying that what you majored in uni doesn't matter is a bit silly.
