The real world doesn't have higher standards, it just has different
standards.  And within the real world, every person you meet has
different standards.  (The new grad has to learn that on a job
interview, you have to adjust to each new person; the tech may
want to know if you know the specifics, the next tech may want to
know if you can learn, the manager wants to know what you want to
do in five years, the next manager wants to know what school you
went to, etc)

As a student you learn: comparative study of programming languages
In the real world they want: 5+ years with C++ only

As a student you learn: operating system design principles
In the real world they want: 5+ years with dos/windows

As a student you learn: to be adaptive
In the real world they want: prior experience with foxpro

As a student you learn: how to excel on your own merits
In the real world you find out: politics matters
