Also, you do not know everything. Ask tons of questions.
This is probably the best advice you will ever get right here. I had an uncle who said that you should save 15% of your take home over and above any company retirement plan. He would ask me every time we met if I was saving 15%. It took about ten years in the workforce to understand why but in my early thirties I started saving and trying to catch up for past years. I retired at 55.
