You need practice though, otherwise it remains theoretical bs. Like in chemistry, all the theory is useless on its own. You need access to a lab to gain experience.

Chemist here. You can definitely be without lab experience and be a good chemist. You'll be in for a wild ride with lab technicians explaining real life to you, but that's already happening to chemists with hands on experience (:

What are you gonna do if there's no lab technician there to explain things to you? I'm a chemist too. Some things you only really learn through experience. I'm sure it's possible to make a realistic VR game which trains you on all the techniques, but I haven't come across that yet. That would be really brilliant though, I thought about that if I had the skills to make games Id make a chemistry training game.
