I just got an letter in the mail, an offer from www.tsc.com for an summer internship position! I am gonna be a VB programmer for them! woot!

So for those in the real work place, how does school programming projects differ from real life situations?
 
Lots of politics
Lots of paper work

Say you find a bug, gotta fill out a bug submission form
Then there is a fix-the-bug request form
if you need to change the way software behaves, say hello to a change request form, and then a meeting w/ 5-10 people discussing it for an hour or two when all you really want to do is change 10 lines of code
reallife programming is 90% design..and not designing code structure either..writing documents..requirements documents, software design, traceability (ie this software feature is a result of needing to fit this requirement) basically lots of docs that keep a paper trail of work so management or whoever else is interested can read up and see what's going on.
reallife programming is abuot 10% acutal programming....document writing, code reviews, and fighting with people to get the features you want implmeneted
