The most valuable thing I learned was that I should have found this site about 3 years before I actually did...Having done my undergrad studies at a non-target state school with absolutely no exposure to high finance, my window was small enough as it was (and I know it's not completely closed yet, but just saying...). Finding this site after my junior year was over didn't do much for my prospects, to say the least...
