At what point in your education do you get to the point where your understanding exceeds the state-of-the-science of 20 years ago?  Or even 40 years ago for that matter?

After taking a statics course I learned I didn't want to be a mechanical engineer.  :-DD

All I've really learnt so far is how to buy test equipment.  |O

Except that having no money makes you buy cheep 2nd hand test equipment off the used market in a "sold as is" state finding it is indeed broken and having to figure out how to fix it. Tho half the time its an excuse to buy even more equipment in order to calibrate that piece of equipment you are fixing. And some of that arrives in a broken state... yeah... it doesn't really end sorry.

It mostly varied between getting burnt out after spending an hour trying to keep up with copying scribbles from the board before it got erased or drawn over, and my world opening up to something new that was being explained passionately by a blatantly industry experienced teacher/prof.

ferdieCX:
All my professors were also working in the industry and taught us at the evening in the technical university.
It was a wonderful time, back in the 70s ^-^
