Things I wish I never learned?
Politics:
1) You can't ever, ever look up to a politician.
2) Government won't ever function correctly.
3) The best leaders will be shot and killed.
Life:
1) Most marriages aren't going to last.
2) There's no such thing as total trust.
3) The worst betrayal possible is that of a spouse or best friend.
4) You're never going to date Jessica Alba.
War:
1) McDonald Douglas, Boeing, and Lockheed don't just make cool airplanes, they build some of the most horrible, devastating, murderous weapons ever conceived.
2) There will always be another war, and it's going to happen sooner than you think.
3) We are often the bad guy.
Work:
1) Businesses care about profits. Everyone cares about profits. You are basically alone in not caring about profits and caring about people.
2) You're never going to think your boss is as smart as you are.
3) Your diploma is just a piece of paper to most people.
Jeez, this thread is depressing.
