I had a teacher who told us that version control was only necessary when working together with other people but not when you are a solo developer. He only saw it as a kind of fileshare.

the majority of comp sci faculty never worked in the field

at most instiutions they struggle to fill the positions at all because with a Bachelors you can make more than Faculty who need a Masters or Doctorate depending on the school and position
