I understand what you want to say but you can't judge based on how much time I spent at university. I starting learning computer programming while being in middle school, to give you an hint I successfully coded my first lines using the beginning of PHP 5.2 in 2007.

I am sorry if "I wasted your time", I didn't say that I master all this languages but I am pretty confident with most of them. I will not list all my skills and experiences but to give you a brief example:

C/C++: I wrote tens of thousands lines while writing UNIX and video games team projects. PHP: Thousands lines for various projects, personal website, URL shortener engine, blog engine for friends... Objective-c: During my first year internship I wrote and published 2 iOS app on the Apple Store. While I had no previous experience with such a language, this may show you that I am a quick learner.

Maybe you are too much used to regular student taking standard classes at university, but my university is way different from any classical university. It is a software engineering school. With its unique pedagogical approach, we (students) have dozens of projects (about 60 technical projects just for the 2 first years). This is a type of participatory learning that allows us to unleash our creativity through project-based learning. It's an atypical university, instead of regular lectures we have technical/practical projects to work on, all along the years to learn by ourselves.
