The main problem is that most people taking these courses also have a “main” thing going on (job or school) and can’t dedicate 100 percent to self education. If self education was considered a legitimate third option besides job and school, the opinions would be different. I’ve spent the last two years self educating myself (in addition to working on something). I’ve never felt so intellectually engaged and just idk alive? All the hard shit that you might struggle with becomes trivial if you spend a little more time on it.
