As for how long I have been working, I started off as an intern in February of 13, got promoted to OPS in September of 13 and then full time in December of 14. I have been in the same organization for all three positions and I have learned a lot from them. More than I have learned from school honestly.

Good stuff! Yeah, half of the full timers at the desk we co-ops before, then worked PT, then eventually got promoted when the other FTs moved on.

Put in that effort now and you will be glad you did down the road.

I know what you mean by learning more at work.. I didn't even have a degree in CS, but expressed my interest in the field due to my love of technology (along with having an A+ cert that actually proves I know the fundamentals). School would never have taught me about 802.1x auth errors, how to deal with stolen equipment, how to properly handle a difficult end user, how to negotiate office politics and handle professional communication boundaries.. etc..
