Experience is the greatest teacher.
Your degree is just a foot in the door. Real learning begins when you are "thrown into the fire".
Experience does not mean number of years spent in industry. Experience is how much you know about the job, and how well you do it.

Experimenting is critical for learning.
Try things out. See if it works. If it does, you learn. If it doesn't, you still learn.
