This'll sound weird but the thing no one told me about school (or college) was how much better life gets once you're done. And in college it was even alluded to more than once that it (college) was the real world. What a load of horsesh*t. I never liked school, kept my head down, did what I had to do and graduated. Didn't really miss the people much (maybe 1 or 2 friends, teachers/professors were inspiring or good people) and never looked back. Don't get me wrong. My education and degree was 100% necessary for me personally and one hell of a fallback more than once but personally for the most part it was just bizarre and everything after that made more sense to me. I really feel for everyone in the "trenches"!

How to learn things efficiently. Seriously, schools force you to reproduce knowledge in tests but they're not teaching you well how to gather and remember it. I'm he more "learing by doing" kind of type so learning and reproducing pure facts for the sake of it was (and is) always the horror for me.

That most of the time no matter how much effort you put your success or lack of depends of external factors and not you.
