You won't learn linear algebra or programming on the job. Those things need to be learned prior to working.

On the job training only works for certain types of skills

That is not true. I learned linear algebra on the job as it became required. Just like everything else I’ve needed to learn.

This whole “gaps” argument is just people who’ve bought into a system. People coming out of uni have “gaps” as well just different gaps… gaps rich kids have so it’s ok with Google.
