What I've learned... ~3 years after school

Roughly three years ago, I started my current job as an electrical engineer fresh out of school. I had accepted a position as a power electronics engineer. However, if you asked me in my junior or senior year of school what discipline I wanted to go into, power electronics would have been at the bottom of the list. This is a short story describing many of the things I've learned any my experiences on my journey from school to industry.
