Ahhhh programming.. like there is only that in CS...
The ONE thing which is always missing from future prospect when I hire is problem resolution skills. You fressh grads know a bit about programming, a bit about languages, dBs and such but real life problem solving, lets face it, you yougnsters SUCK!!!
-Learn to think out of the box, especially while under pressure.
-Learn to work and solve problems with a minimalistic set of tools.
-Learn to recognize strenght in people surrounding you to help you solve problems
-Learn to admit you don't know or made a mistake
Mixing all this will not only help you on the market but help you in every other aspects of your life.
The main problem I face every day is trying to solve issues faster with less time. Think MacGyver.. solve issues with your environnement.
hope this helps

I bet it won't even help maintaining a proper chain of custody. When they see the PI fail in court as much as the techno-dudes, it'll fail.....
