whats something you know now that you wish you knew when you were my age

I would be careful on the technical questions. You never want to ask a question that, by you not asking correctly or the employee not knowing, would put the GS employee in an uncomfortable situation. You would come across, potentially, as a dick and the employee as an idiot.

Example: I spoke to a class at my alma mater and a kid asked me a totally theoretical question deep in the pages of an options theory book. Hell, I asked people who have been trading for 20 years and they gave a blank look equivalent to what I gave the class. I knew he dug out some question that he though would make him look informed and intelligent. Once I explained why it was stupid, as I said, he looked a bit like a dick and it pissed me off that this punk kid would try to show me up.
