I mean most of thing that get you a decent job you can learn even on YT for free. Sure you are going to need some self-discipline and a lot of practice but it is perfectly doable. For $115k you could have plenty of funds to hire some pros to mark your home works or give some pointers. I think only advantage of Uni is that you can get connections, but you can also get them by going to local meet ups.
