I didn't studied to get rich. I studied because of interest in
the subject. I studied to became a better person.
Studying is not confined to the classmate. Studying is about
learning new things, gaining knowledge. Some people successed
without any proper certification, but that does not mean they did
not studied. They merely did so in a different way!
Perhaps you are looking for a consumer goods. The first thing you
do may be to list down specification. In this age of IT, you would
start surfing the internet for details on products. You assemble a
list of product you are interested in. Then you source for the
product, where to get it at a good price. After which when at the
store, you could compare and contrast the different products on
offer. Then you select the product you went. This is also a form of
studying, through the process of purchasing you have learnt
something new.
You go on a trip overseas. You travel around, try to break the
language barrier. Learned about their culture, their food. How to
behave in that place. How to travel around using their public
transport system. That is also a form of studying, as you gain new
knowledge!
Do not limit learning to the classroom, perhaps its true you do not
need a proper cert to be successful, but you definitly need to
study!
By the way, common sense, is the least common of senses.
