When do you really start to learn?

Im not sure how many people felt like this before graduating but I feel like I don't know much. Don't get me wrong, I have learned from my classes but I still feel like I really don't know anything. I am pursuing a career in finance and I guess I just need the validation from others that you don't know sh*t until you start working. This may seem like a stupid post to some but I guess this is just something that I have been worrying a lot about.

You learn continuously. Eureka moments are rare, but you’ll hopefully be able to look back on what you knew years before and see how far you’ve come.
