I already know what I need to learn. You could figure that out with a web search. Just see which skills employers are asking for in job postings. Why would I go to college for that?
I guess it's tough over there in US, but here in Europe it's a bit easier financially.
I had the same mindset as you. My problem was that while I could learn all those things on my own, I never did. There's something to be said about the power of having a schedule. Uni also helped me in ways I didn't know I needed help with. It's definitely worth a lot.
There must be some prodigy people who have the magical combo of focus and willpower, but the majority don't. Higher ed helps tremendously with that.
Uni also gives you projects to work on where you can apply what you've learned within a specific context. I know if I just have a vague goal like "learn how git works", and I read through a bunch of documentation, I will retain almost none of it.
Exactly!
