I consider this type of comment as biased dogma. I dropped out of school during middle school. I didn't like school. Google raised me, the internet raised me, I found education my own way by just looking for examples to mimic. Books, internet, and people to talk to. I retired at 30. Where there is a will, there is a way. The modern academic system is just a factory. When I screened resumes, I didn't look at where someone went to school, I looked at what projects they had under their belt and what they had 'obsessions' about. If you put time in, you will become skillful. If you put time in, and you don't like what you're doing, you'll probably have a less than good time doing it. If you put time in, and you like what you are doing to the extent you are obsessed about it, you'll probably not even realize you're working or getting paid.
