What was the most important thing you learnt at university, if you went?

I learned to view issues more holistically. In other words, I learned to view any problem from multiple angles, and bring in ideas from other models to find solutions. So, basically, I learned a way of thinking. A lot of the core content I learned for my major is even now (13 years later) obsolete, yet the liberal arts aspects of my classes have given me a skill that allows me to still be an effective employee.
 
that pretty much everything I've learned, save for the terminology, is utterly useless because it either only works in the classroom or you'll relearn it on the job or expensive software applications exist that can do your work in a fraction of the time.
