true that. i said more or less the same thing myself shortly after starting work at a big company. just replace "real" with some variation of "business" or "corporate."
not that there's anything wrong with making money or working at large corporations, but just like a 12-year-old might not have any idea what corporate experience is, someone who learned to program at school doesn't know what the experience of mowing lawns in order to buy a compiler is like for kid.
