Actually, you pay for the extras that make the book learning & lectures worth while. And, of course, you pay for the connections and opportunities. MIT has been giving away it's coursework for almost 30 years now. The course material is great. But it's less than half of what you actually learn in most courses. The other half comes from the labs, and the research you get to do. None of which you can do by sneaking in or reading online. It's certainly true that you can get a good education for free by being motivated and using MIT or Harvard free materials. But it objectively won't be as good as what you get by matriculating. And that leaves out all opportunities that attending give in the Real World. I'd strong suggest anyone who wasn't able to get in to such a school to avail themselves of the materials.

All the nerds almost become high earners as they age. Popular kids in the other hands not all but… you get my point.

This is why I try to never miss a class. Because I'm fortunate enough to actually get to learn and sit down on a chair that so many students tried to get and maybe had to wait a year or two to finally get to this class or to a university in general. I'm greatful, honestly.

[@kuratse205]

Just like what michael said, you dont really need to "get into a class", you can just join it or watch their recordings. You are just paying for the tests and certifications. The rest is practically free. Also, you misspelled grateful.

[@Brickwilliams]

@@kuratse205 yes certifications can be very important.

[@myme8208]

@@kuratse205 I don't think you can or anyone can trust me as an engineer if I say I attended classes without certifications from a known universities. But I agree general knowledge is important. This isn't my mother language, I apologise if I made some spelling mistakes but it's youtube not an academic paper so I thought some mistakes can be over looked lol.

[@kuratse205]

@@myme8208 Most stuck up jobs require certifications, sure. However, if you are good enough and can display your skills, you will still be able to find an employer that sees the value in you. In the end, certifications dont matter during the job. All that matters is results. Certifications only show your ability to a certain standard, nothing else. If you can show your ability, a good employer will be able to ascertain your value. So if you enjoy a field, but dont really want to waste money for a degree, you dont have to. Just show up to the lecture hall, and have fun. Learning is never punished. Also, I apologise for being rude by correcting you there.

[@myme8208]

@@kuratse205 Maybe in your country. Skill and certifications are very much still important in the middle-east and eastren countries in general. It's only getting harder with the economy to find jobs. Now even a degree can't get you far I cannot begin to imagine not having a degree. Many people didn't work hard when they were young because they believe they will be the next Bill Gates or Steve Jobs. But I aim to actually make a difference and that starts with a proper education, I love learning in general but I strongly agree with your point too. I love writting so my hobby might be my income one day not my actual degree but hey, gotta have a plan A and a plan B with the C around too just in case. So my plan B is my degree but I do want to make a career out of my hobby not my degree if it didn't happen then I got the degree in case. No need to apologise it's always nice to be corrected, thank you.
