Right now, I still survived Music Theory I, II, and III, and can hack my way through 18th Century Counterpoint.

 

Right now, the Keyboard Exam was the weedout exam in my major.

 

Right now,

 

Right now, I'm embarrassed to say that math and science were not required after sophomore year at my high school. I stopped taking science classes after sophomore year and dropped math class my senior year because the teacher couldn't solve the problems himself I wish I would have stuck with science. What is new to me is common knowledge to others Luckily my obsession with Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Bill Nye, and Richard Dawkins as an adult has taught me a lot!

 

Right now I have to write a couple hundred lines of code, so.... Chazmo out!

 

Right now

 

Right now happy to report that the closest science-y courses I had to take were research classes...A qualitative and quantitative in undergrad. And thankfully only one research class in grad school. Painful.

 

Right now, just saw my first example of Squirrel.

 

Right now, don't be embarassed.

After finishing engineering curiculum and working for, uhh, 14 years now... I've basically never used a single thing I was taught in any class in college. But what I learned was essentially a process to solve problems, while each class was a different nature of problem.

When it comes to science, the most important things are an open mind, a willingness to follow the method, and most importantly, a willingness to be proven wrong. If you have those things, the formal education is just a bunch of shortcuts. Your library probably has "old" textbooks that you can learn from...

Also, I should note that nursing is a bit different - some of that education is VERY practical.

 

Right now, adding that I had several science teachers who lacked 1 or more of those things. If you ever have a science teacher who discourages you from questioning results or digging deeper, walk out.
