That's true. I learned a hell of a lot - best min wage job I ever had! I did a 
whole bunch of embedded systems then, and they were real projects for real 
customers, not demonstration projects.

The company I was working for, Aph, could have been Microsoft. But they snatched 
defeat from the jaws of victory, and disappeared. Management simply had no idea 
what they had. (Of course, I had no idea at the time, either.)
