Pfft. School? Must be for clowns
1. Make a schedule for yourself and follow it diligently.
2. Make sure you get plenty of sleep.
3. Bring your own lunch to work.
4. Make new friends at your workplace.
5. Show up on time always.
6. Make sure you show up at every meeting.
7. Write down all your mistakes.

The rule of thumb at a former employer was that each engineer's work must bring in 10x their salary to pay for managers, secretaries, and assets.
We were told this multiple times with a straight face.

Actually, they typically reported roughly 25% of employees were 'R&D'. How many were actual engineers, I don't know. I just checked the 2012 report, they still say the same thing, 900/3600, but I'm guessing they are all in India and the Philippines now. Their may be 1 left in California......

I swear, twice a week I have a 90 minute meeting that goes something like "hey, so where are you on that project and why wasn't it done before I asked you to start on it?"

I hear you! spreadsheets and updates and bug trackers and meeting minutes. I swear I'll have to fill out a TPS report within the next month!
