One thing I think many of the undergrads, students planning on entering college, and even graduates like me would like to know, from people who are already out in their career, about how their college education affected them.
I'm sure everyone has noticed the type of student who comes onto the forum going "ZOMG I got a B- in Physics 1, is my dream of being a professor over?". My question to people who went through school and are working in their field is what are the more realistic consequences of how you conduct yourself in school? What eventually ended up being important parts of your education? What decisions do you regret making? What decisions ended up being very beneficial in the end? Did anything that seemed super important to a typical student during your college career end up being blown out of proportion?
I guess I would like a thread for students to get some insight from people who have already been there as to what they should be doing to have a better career in the future. DISCUSS!
