Have you ever had any kind of formal training in something? If so, what? When it was over, were you thoroughly skilled in it?

Well, I've taken karate and singing lessons. I still can't sing and I know how to do a roundhouse kick but that's about it.....so nope....wasn't skilled by the lessons at all. And it's not like I took them for a long time either.

I have taken a course at a tech school for Certified Nursing Assistant, passed with flying colors and worked in the field for years.
Got training in AIDS education and occasionally give classes at work, which is a requirement in my field. (But I think it is mostly a waste of time. I always open the class with "What planet have you been on for the past 30 years?")
I once landed a job teaching intellectually disabled adults ceramics. I had only bdone some ceramics in high school art, so I went to the library got several books and taught myself about working clay and the kiln. The rest was just my inovation and imagination.

I took piano lessons when I was much younger. That was my parent's idea and didn't last long. Much later, I paid for my own saxophone lessons but that didn't last either for economic reasons.

When I was 12 I took guitar lessons over the summer but I hated it so when I went back to school in the fall I gave it up and later sold the guitar.

When I was in the 7th grade, I took 13 weeks of Clarinet lessons at the University of Oregon. I didn't leave a pro, but was good enough to be in the school band (where I only wanted to be because a friend of mine was also there.)
