Ask HN: Best places to learn what school doesn't teach you?
- giantg2 6y agoLife. It may be a general answer, but school is only a small part of life and your course of study only covers a fraction of a percent of the knowledge that exists in the world. Even look at how many courses you take divided by how many courses a university offers. The best thing I can recommend is to research things you come across that you are interested in and could be practical. If you are looking for suggestions: - Financial basics like time-value-of-money (inflation, interest, etc), opportunity cost, investment vehicles (bank account, CD, stocks, bonds, options, etc) - Mechanical skills such as changing a car's oil, fix a leaky faucet, replace a toilet, etc. This is stuff that you can look up when the need arises. The point here is not to write yourself off before trying. Start with small projects.
