I never learned statistics until my second year in university, it was really mind opening, especially with showing me just how much poorly done statistics with tiny sample sizes or misrepresented data are quoted and used as facts.

I actually found statistics pretty fun and eventually we learned to use R for it. Though I ended up missing 1 lecture and it almost screwed me over for the rest of the class. I found a Kahn academy video though that covered it and was able to catch up. There really is a ton of information to learn. It would have been nice to have at least touched on it a little bit in highschool beyond learning about means and the tiniest bit about standard deviations.
