Can anything (mostly anything) be learned with a lot of practice and dedication (career skill wise)?

Asked by Blackberry (33955points) May 28th, 2011

What I mean is, there’s various reasons why I’m not an astrophysicist, or a computer programmer, or an engineer. I don’t know many people (if any) in these fields, but it seems like it has always been something they were already predisposed to do. They excelled at math, or seemed to have a natural inclination to building things etc.

I wouldn’t expect to be as good as some people who have been learning a trade since they were children from their parents, but if someone started from the ground up at a later age, could they become mastery at some random skill (even archery)?
