I really wish as a society we would encourage (by creating a system to allow) high school graduates to enter the work force via internship in the field they want to go into. In my case I went to culinary school, Relator, Insurance, Stock Broker schools all to end up writing software in the end. It was not until 4 or so years into my career that I decided that going back to school would be interesting to fill in the gaps. Had I spent those 4 years up front, my schooling would have been a lot more focused and a lot more interesting.
