    Yeah the professors dont teach shit but having a structured course telling me what order to learn things in and forcing me to do exams, projects, etc. is pretty helpful for learning. Self teaching sht based off whats freely available is hard. There are many paid courses out there for anything online tho. Some ppl do well without structure and they might as well not goto college, learn it all on your own, I do not.

      That’s a great idea, I would almost suggest that as the default if only for one glaring problem, namely that employers will demand a bachelor’s degree to hire you. The reason why education is a focus has nothing to do with the actual education everything you do with the certification which is demanded for employment in good paying jobs. Everything else is Downstream of that. If it wasn’t for that 90% of students wouldn’t even go to the university anymore since you can just pirate textbooks.
