In my accounting internships, we were just expected to show up and work. There wasn't much mentoring, and accounting classes really only cover theory. It was a bit of shock to the system.
That's unfortunate. People aren't cogs in a machine. New folks have a lot to learn. Even experienced people starting at a new company need to learn that company with its nuances. New people to an industry have SO MUCH to learn. Colleges aren't job prep.
