Becoming self-taught? Currently I'm learning POSIX shell scripting and installing OpenBSD and FreeBSD in my local VMs on the weekends, and since AI is helping me, I'm able to gain 3 to 4 times more experience than I would otherwise have gained. All of those skills might come in handy in the future.

Almost all professional jobs require a college degree to even be considered though. I'm sure there are exceptions, but the general rule is clear.

  Electricians/plumbers/welders/landscapers/cleaners etc are also professionals. Unless we are using professional to mean some kind of socioeconomic class signifier.

  Isn't it a bit different in the field of software? Weren't most of the top senior devs actually self-taught?
