I relate 100% with how you grew in experience with the different settings and opportunities. As parents, we pushed our kids to get onboard the experience work boat, whatever. For our young engineer it cost him additional years in College, but what he was learning was for more valuable for his future.
I need to do more of it with my kids. Sadly, because colleges have not been as helpful with getting internships, parents have to get more involved. I'm not a fan of this trend.
