Education is key. So what's the syllabus?

[Jack North]

"I never let school interfer with my education." -Mark Twain. 

I only went to 2 semesters of community college. And graduated one year early from High School because I hated it so much. I'm an autodidactic. But at least I could find out what College Sophomores were reading in their Psych courses. 

So in terms of REI - there's so much info, I'm a bit lost. The answer to my question, I assume, will be, "it depends." :-) I've been looking at BP forums, and podcast (along with others), read all the "go to" books (From Rich Dad to Think And Grow Rich), ask questions, etc.

Vocabulary is a big one, for sure. Case studies are a huge bonus, no doubt. But I'm learning with a shotgun approach...! Is there anything linear? An REI 101 'course'?

Thoughts?
