Maybe with a good teacher. I took calculus courses in high school and college and came out clueless. I could manage the rote work to complete the course, but the big picture was left blank.
I revisited it later in life as an adult and gained a fuzzy picture, but it is still not well defined in my mind. According to many comments here some mathematical concepts I am well versed in and use regularly, if not daily, are calculus and that surprises me as they don't seem like anything that was presented in said classes.

I dare say that calculus has a marketing problem.
