What is something school/training/the military/the order of mystic ninjas/etc. didn’t prepare your pup for inn their chosen field?

Tess was not prepared to run billion dollar businesses, or be a government spy.

Rose barely went to school and wasn't prepared for anything.

Kylo's mystic Jedi training was useless in preparing him to rule what one might call an Empire.

Creed's military training actually did him a lot of good in becoming an indiscriminate killer. It didn't really help with the technology side of things cause he hasn't been in the army since the 60s.

Ellen got a very thorough and well rounded Vault education up to the age of sixteen, and then continued with the basic classes while also getting a good solid theological apprenticeship under the Vault's chaplain.

Absolutely none of it was any good at preparing her for, y'know, existing outside.

Wilford has a Masters degree. Being his degree is in journalism, he has no idea how to run a production company. In fact, the entire move to not!Hollywood left him kind of reeling.

Romance.

Specifically, how to appropriately court a princess of a foreign nation.

It... was a thing.

How to be a functional sapient being with healthy relationships with himself or anyone around him.

Or how to properly use both sides of the Force without becoming a psychopathic mass-murderer.

... I'd say "at least he learned how to use a lightsaber" but, like, that didn't go so great for a lot of folks either.

Ahsoka: How to live outside of the Order.

Sabine: How amazing it feels to give someone help for no other reason than that they need it.

Jess: The mix of emotions building a new life gives you.

Danny: How self-focused people tend to be and how many rules there are to society.
