“One of my favorite lines from all time was in that movie Goodwill Hunting IIRC. He tells the smart ass from Harvard that someday he will wake up and realize he spent $250,000 for an educaiton he could have gotten at the Public Library for the cost of a Library card...Priceless!”
I like the quote!
Never saw the movie... any good?

Yeah, it is possible someone might be able to learn more on their own, but not very likely. A few might, but the vast (vast) majority aren’t that motivated—not even close. Most do need a professor breathing down there neck to make progress. Like it or not, a college education is still the best way to learn if you want to be a white collar professional.
