I feel the same way. I was always completely uninterested because the college economics we were taught never seemed to jive with the real world. I never fully understood the underlying theories because they just seemed... wrong. But I could never put my finger on it nor explain why it felt off.

Now armed with what I know about bitcoin and a better understanding of Austrian economics, I wish I could go back and compare/contrast against what I know and ask challenging questions to better expose flaws in keynsian economics and gain a better overall understanding.
