There is a little more than just knowledge acquisition in grad school. your advisor, research partners and other researchers from other schools/industry are vital to learning your domain, how to (not) approach problems. Of course, some will say that I am talking about a PhD, but I think this applies as well to a Masters program (to a lesser degree of course).
- nekopa 16y agoI think with a little preparation you can address all these concerns. It is possible to find a mentor online to act as an advisor, and if you (for example) found a start-up in the field you want to study, then you can partner with other 'researchers' (co-founders) and industry(customers) partners. If you are diligent enough to create a well rounded learning track for yourself, it shouldn't be a problem to also include the valuable things you mention.
