Idk why college classes don't focus more on the practical stuff. Like PCR, RT-PCR, qPCR are like shits everybody needs to know (obv as a science major) and yet we never do those in school lab for whatever reason. I swear I've seen someone who tried to load samples on a dry agarose gel smh. Then we get classes that teach us about all the transcription factors - fml never gonna use that unless I become a geneticist (which I might but still). Rant sponsored by: me, looking at how geneticists indicate the location of a gene by notation.

That's always the case. Sadly, all practical tasks you first learn are the easy things anyone with half a brain can perform. When you need specific instructions in order not to mess up, you might have to find out and practice yourself. At least that's what I got from my personal experience, when I wanted to learn suturing. We're lucky the internet is (still) there to help.

*Sigh* I think it'd be most efficient if we started from the tasks that will be of most use knowing. In a job at least it's that way but somehow professors mess that up (or the people coordinating classes - have a technical class at least!). But yes, praise to the internet, without which I'd be half-lost in 80% of stuff I do xD
