I'm self-taught. I still learn stuff that probably never will help me to get money (like, how make programming languages).
I go to the university and get severely disappointed, and after 3 semester all the passion get sucked and I left.
However, I WISH that college/university were way better. Be on a class with others help a lot, and despite I'm not very social at all, be along others with the same interests? that is so rare that is a prize on itself.
How make things better and why I get disappointed is other matter that have been discussed on HN a lot, so instead I wanna point that having a good experience in an education setting (that I have in a tech course!) not only is good for the people that like to walk the common path, but also the self-taught!
How lovely If I could get into some very rewarding clases, not matter if in a university or in a backyard....
