What you learnt on job, that you didn't learn in school

I can't say enough how much I wish my school would have tought some form of version control. I am graduating this winter, and out of all my classes, I've only been taught version control in one class; and that was covered in one lecture.<p>I am using SVN at work, and use git (on GitHub) for my side project. I wish my school would teach git because it seems so confusing to me.

Heh heh. When I learned about computer science in school it was punched cards, and then later on VAXs. The theory and the Unix stuff came in useful though.<p>Seriously though I left education 24 years ago and now looking back that was pretty much the period of lowest density learning I've ever had. Since I left education I have been learning constantly.<p>As an employer the main things I need you to come to me with from your education is: how to research things on your own, how to learn new stuff without being spoon fed and if possible some good solid and broad theoretical knowledge. You will pick up source control and all that stuff up from your co-workers.
