My last internship (before my senior year of college) and my first job after college boh had me working with people who had been in the industry for 10+ years and were both at the top of their game and extremely patient about getting me up to speed with how things worked at their companies and in the industry in general, technically and culturally.
I know I hit the lottery going 2/2, but I don't know how else it would have happened. I can't imagine going out and just nagging people to teach you would end well.
I completely agree; you can learn an awful lot very quickly by working in a corporate for a few years. You may decide that its the right environment for you; you may not, but the skills you learnt along the way are invaluable.
