I'm already at University and I'm learning fucking nothing.

Also Australian universities are likely different to what you're thinking of. We learn about one specific area and that's basically it.

If you're not learning anything at university you're really wasting your time and money

I know but I have a year left until I get my piece of paper that says I can do stuff in the IT field.

Find a list of authors like this and read them. Your school should have a library with everything you need.

Oh! I remember this, I loved this in HS

I'm a Britbong so I do know what you mean, but I was thinking humanities (at which you do pick up a lot more general stuff along the way) rather than sciences.

I swear the stuff I remember most in history is all from there. Probably helped that I read it at age... 8, or something. Sadly I only ever read the first book, though, otherwise I'd probably be king of knowledge by now.

I feel the same way. That's why I've stopped going, probably will drop out soon and flip burgers. My advice would be to just read anything you find, indiscriminately. Of course by anything I don't mean random magazines, tabloids or cookbooks. Read the classics first. Anything you've heard mentioned with some reverence. Try for 2 books a week. Do one classic and then something you fancy. Rinse and repeat this and in 20 years you'll have read at least a thousand books.
