The secret of how to be miserable is to constantly expect things are going to happen the way that they are "supposed" to happen.
You can have faith, which carries the understanding that you may be disappointed. Then there's being a willfully-blind idiot, which virtually guarantees it.

I am a new grad. I would love to know more about how things work such as IO. But since I didn't get this type of training in my undergrad degree, at least from my school, I feel as though I'm missing big pieces of the overall puzzle in order to be marketable against those who do know things work such as IO.
