I actually have a post planned for next week about just that. Classroom learning will never teach you the way real life will. I totally agree.

When I go back to school (again) in the fall, I will be double majoring. English will be one of those majors, and I sometimes fear that it will give me an inferiority complex also. At least I will know I am not the only one if that happens! I know! Small world.

I have an English degree, but the best teacher is practice. My degree has helped sometimes, but other times, it only seems to hinder and give me an amazing inferiority complex. Also, it's crazy that you know my brother :) I agree with everything you’ve said. I have an English degree, but the best teacher is practice.

The one thing I would add is Get Some Dang Experience. Go out and live your life! I admit, some people create fantastical stuff, and it is great. Nevertheless, I love the flavor that writing gets when you can tell that the author knows what they're describing from first-hand experience, even if it's as simple as a paragraph about going fishing, or making a sandwich, or whatever. A little touch of real makes the unreal tangible. I agree times ?r squared! I was disgusted with most of my undergrad endeavors (but love my little bit of grad school).
