What I wish I'd been told in high school: read, read, read. And read outside the curriculum as much as you like. It's allowed!

I once worked in the calendar section of a newspaper, and people would send in the barest info and I would have to call them up and find out the actual details. Sometime we'd get close to deadline and it was time to paste the type up (in Pagemaker, on a Mac SE) and I'd have to put in placeholder text while waiting for…
