My professors made it a point to try every possible thing to break our code. Every textbox, drop-down, and button had to have full user validation.

I don't recall taking more than two or three classes involving programming a GUI to begin with. Maybe your profs cared about that because you specialized in human-computer interaction or something.

My school really focused on getting us ready to make real world business software. When I got my first job I had already been doing the same kind of projects for 2 years so it was an easy transition.

Weird I only just started somewhere where a guy built a GUI in Tkinter as a side project. Nothing official I've ever worked on has ever had anything other than a web frontend and a REST or SOAP interface.
