I agree with self-education, I think the current education system is producing a pretty overpriced product that doesn't offer value for money. Self-education for sure is key if you can learn what you need to unlearn and continue to have a thirst for knowledge and curiosity then you will always win, just make sure its invaluable info, not all info is created equal.

BUt then again we live in a world where celeb gossip can get you paid more than knowing physics or math so I don't know if these rules still apply lol
