Quick answer

A hard degree can still leave you feeling uneducated if most of your learning was compressed into exams, deadlines, and technical problem sets. The answer is not to pretend you know everything. It is to reconnect with what you learned, translate it into ordinary language, and rebuild your inputs so you have more to notice, ask, and share.
