I get what you want to convey, but literally every single person who flies a fighter jet did not know how to do it when they were offered the job. Fighter pilot is not something you learn in university and then go apply for fighter pilot jobs. It's a prime example of "hey kid, you wanna fly this cool plane?" "I don't know how" "doesn't matter, we'll teach you"

You can say the same about a lot of things that are new and/or novel. You can even invent an entirely new thing and be the only one who knows how to do it.

Couple things.

  1. Pretty sure there's a vast difference between "We will teach you how to fly a plane" and "Reading the manual in the backseat because you didn't know anything up until this point" as the meme suggests.

  2. This is a meme. It is not meant to be taken literally.
