> There is absolutely zero gain, once again, for the moderately intelligent, motivated student, in terms of learning from going to a college vs. a motivated, well-thought self-study. One autodidact thinks: "No need to go to college and pay all that money; I can learn it all on my own". Some actually put in the effort to do so and do quite well in their lives. Another autodidact thinks: "Holy ____, there are facilities, equipment, and educated experts here that I could never hope to get access to on my own! If I use my autodidact ability to take advantage of this huge concentration of knowledge resources, I can not only learn the basic stuff in the classes but a whole bunch of advanced topics besides." These people go on to work on what people refer to as "interesting problems" at FAANG-level technology companies and have fun doing it, not to mention being paid amazingly well. Choose wisely, autodidacts.
