After dropping out of high school and going in the Marines on my seventeenth birthday, I later realized how sorely lacking in education I was. After that I embarked on a lifetime of learning, completing two years of academic courses, getting a two year degree in computer systems, and then doing study on my own and doing online courses.
I had taken quite a few science courses before I ever got around to taking physics. I admit it, I thought physics was going to be "super hard" and I avoided it for a long time. My surprise was that physics is the most important and fundamental science. It is the foundation of all other sciences. I think a very basic physics course should be required in middle school. This country is ridiculously deficient in science education. This is the number one reason so many Americans can be misled about climate change, vaccinations, "chemical trails" and a whole host of other science-related topics. If you understand the science of a thing, you don't need to decide between which argumnets sound the most convincing. You can easily tell who is the liar and who is not.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I completely agree with you about the last statement; this is a wise opinion. Once upon a time, I also made a big mistake and dropped out of university because I wanted to start working and get my first money, which my parents could never give me because they worked very hard for a meager salary. When I realized it was a mistake, I got a programmer education, and now I work freely for my pleasure and can afford to study different things in parallel. Now I'm considering getting trained in [galaxytraining.com.au] since it interests me. Thank you for your post; I hope that as many people as possible will realize how important education is.

Things are not always black and white. I read about a faulty batch of vaccines which caused side effects for some people. I'm not anti vaccine.
Ultimately vaccines are big pharma products just like any other pharmaceutical product. Sometimes things go wrong.

I have a lot of issues concerning your most noteworthy post. Read, Read, and Read all you can before ever taking a course. I see you have done that. Keep the ball rolling on that alley and no matter where it lands that you can always throw another one. And Another One after that! Another One. I would change the fact of you Dropping out of HS was a major decision that changed you for what they failed to accomplish. Its what a fellow veteran would say that you took the bull by the tail and faced the situation.
