In the same boat as historians are educators. In my opinion, all major fields of study and practice are only as illustrious and complex as we make them. That the moment we actually get into them, we discover they actually aren’t as scary as we think they are.
For instance, medicine for many seems like the craziest field of study where only the brightest are able to survive. These young men and women take hundreds of courses and absorbs bounds of information so that one day they can practice medicine and give back to their community. As doctors, they have no specimens to practice on and no test to cram for. Overall, their life becomes routine and I bet many wonder, why was med school so hard? Why did we have to take such crazy test that don’t have any real world application? Why couldn’t we just skip all that and actually practice medicine rather than analyze it.
In my opinion, I this happens because experience is more practical than knowledge. As students, I feel we learn best what we practice the most. That when we actually get out there, the things we practiced the most are what will help us the most.
You might ask yourself, then why do we waste so much time gathering knowledge when we can be practicing it. The reason is knowledge and how with it we are able to learn new things and tackle new situations in new ways. Without it we are simply machines who push buttons for specific results.
