Speaking from experience, I've used maybe 1% of what I learned in
college in my career in the IT industry (admittedly, I'm *not* a
programmer, but I am a sysadmin who programs when necessary). 

And of that 1%, 95% of that was learning how to write effective
documentation and proper written communication.
