I don't know what I want to learn and I don't know what I don't know.
Who teaches THAT class?
Sitting here and marveling that I'd never thought to ask, "what do I want to learn?"
Formal education has always had the "get a degree" or "get a certification/license" as a goal rather than to learn any specific thing, and you learned everything thrown at you because required for degree.
Things that I've learned with an applied goal have typically surrounded a "well shit, that's broke" and a need to repair it. I autodidact readily and am a fair mechanic because of it.
What do I want from a gun class?
I do know that I don't want to spend a lot of money "learning" what I already know just to gain access to classes that teach something I don't.
