Just being very honest, I did not enjoy this reading of what "photographers wish they had learned in school" at all.
This cliche list of "I wish I could have. . ." loses its point when it gets to number 7: "you don't have to be perfect". That's right. No one will ever be perfect. As this article mentions in the beginning, we learn a lesson "the hard way" and, in my opinion, that is the ONLY way to learn anything. Learning what's on this list while still being a student will surely help me, but it won't make me a more prepared photographer at the age of 22.
I just like to cherish and focus on what's given today. As long as I make best of what I can do today, I will have no such regret like "what I wish I learned in the past. . ."
Lastly, if the very last quote of this article, "I wish somebody had told me that I would spend 95% of my time doing office tasks and only 5% of my time actually taking and processing photographs", is true, I won't become a photographer.
