Specific knowledge can't be taught, but can be learned. Knowledge that gets you paid. Identify your strengths and apply them to what you care about. Iterate at the edge of knowledge. Building it will feel like play to you, but look like work to others.https://startupboy.com/2019/03/25/specific-knowledge/ …

Apprenticeship is itself a cultural practice; no one is born knowing how to train apprentices; it, like craft itself, must be learned by doing. But the tremendous efficiencies of mass public education have made the subtle and painstaking practice of apprenticeship seem backward.

When masters themselves forget how to guide apprentices and persuade themselves that this onerous task is not their responsibility, learners are left to infer as much as they can of the tacit knowledge of masters from books and lectures and other dead things. It seldom goes well.

Still very strong in the construction industry. I was an electrician apprentice my self and currently have one with me now. You could sit in 100 lectures about wiring up a house. What you can't learn from reading is how to use a tool. That comes from doing.

Yes. But you learn more than the use of a tool. "By watching the master and emulating his efforts in the presence of his example, the apprentice unconsciously picks up the rules of the art, including those which are not explicitly known to the master himself." ~ Michael Polanyi
