I tend to agree; I didn't go the traditional route, opting for the Navy instead, and missing my chance later. As a result, I spend a lot more of my time looking for and developing contacts and people who are interested in the same things I am. Another missed point: it's difficult to build a house if you don't know how, and that's how I feel about education. You can cherrypick your learning and, certainly, further your education, but brick-and-mortar schools tell you in what order to stack those pieces of knowledge. They teach you how to build the house from the materials you've gathered.
