This was actually a 30+ person who likely didn't learn in their country of origin. There is something to the issue of neuroplasticity post 25 y-o...I mean, is it really best to "learn by doing" when we're talking abt operating a 2 ton machine?

Great point. The way a lot of us learn is out on the field and that's kinda scary. And yeah it's possible she came and realized she was stranded without a car and had to learn. I really wish good transit made it possible to not own a car in most of the us.
