What is a skill you picked up later in life that you wish you had learned as a kid?

Every time I see little kids nowadays coding, editing videos, and building tech stuff effortlessly I get goosebumps. It's like I should be the one doing those things. Imagine if they taught us real programming language and money sense in school instead of memorizing textbook definitions, a lot of us would have been so wealthy by now.

It should be my culinary skills now. I wasn't given that opportunity in even my teenage years. We had a cook in the house and she was handling everything cooking. So I grew up not knowing how to cook delicious meals. But thanks to food channels on YouTube, I'm an expert now. My culinary skills now is top-notch.

Honestly programming and game development. I was too young for the, ‘video game consoles are PCs’ era (Commodore 64 and such), and too old for engines like Unity to be available in high school when I had so much more time. Despite taking every programming and IT class my high school offered, none of the teachers actually had any idea how to do it, so I was so behind when I went actually went to Uni to study it. The kids today have no idea how good they have it.

This is a great topic!! There are so many things I wish I had known earlier in life…like playing the flute! I didn’t learn until I was 35 and loved it.

Sports. I wish I had gotten more encouragement from my parents to be active instead of Go outside and play! I love tennis but again, didn’t really play it until I had a child of my own.
