Nothing is funnier than talking to students after their first work term or co-op.

In class they learn high level management techniques that would normally be used by senior managment and above (hell some of the stuff I learned in certian classes couldn't be applied by anyone under VP level, literally company wide policy changes) and then they get into the workplace and realize that for the next few years they'll be pencil pushers working on piles of paper work and pushing through mundane, routine, day to day tasks and probably won't remember 90% of what they learned by the time they'll actually be in a position to apply it.
