I do believe you can achieve anything you want through self education especially in this age of information where you get to easily find something with just a few searches through the internet.

I also believe that interaction and collaboration with others is a requirement for anyone to grow and nurture their skill.

I've been taking Udemy classes for different skillsets and what I've learned from there are things that I am utilizing right now.

We can learn a lot from our own selves and from the environment we live in. The experience that you can acquire from out there can be a way of educating our own selves. However, this self-education can't makes us certified specialist on the field that we want. Maybe, ypu can be a specialist by your own but think of it as you were a specialist but you were the only one who could know that. Formal education is a need to be a certified specialist in any field. It is something that you can hold for you to really do what you want to do. There's nothing bad on being self-educated, it is in fact a great edge to others but consider having formal education for you to not waste the knowledge that you gained from your own.

I read somewhere that an IQ level of about 130 is the threshold where one can be expected to be able to successfully self-educate in technically advanced fields.  I believe that Stanford-Binnet IQ ratings are imprecise in gauging features which accurately predict self-education potential, but it's probably a useful value in predicting success anyway.

My experience in the Silicon Valley tech sector substantiate the above.  I would suspect that the lower end of college educated participants was in the 120 range.  The (less numerous) self-educated contingent was probably in the 130-150 range and as a general tendency they excelled (perhaps because those who did not went back to digging ditches.)  The high end of participants tended to hold graduate degrees and I would estimate they to be North of 150 a lot of times.

The more I think back on things, the more I suspect that formal education focuses a lot on instilling certain ideas which are of benefit to a certain group of social engineers.  Their programs were successful in achieving a result.  The self-educated crowd were much more likely to be 'conspiracy theorists' when it came to unrelated political thought patterns for instance.  Also, being deficient in an understanding of certain documented procedures, the self-educated tended to 'go their own way' sometimes, and sometimes it worked out well.  But I worked mostly in 'start-up' companies.  I suspect that in the larger corporate environments it was usually a better strategy to just go with the industry standards.  'Blazing new trails' is a risk/reward ratio which doesn't make as much sense there.

As a undergratudate I think that we have to learn so many things without proper guidence by lectures. So its called self education. It will help us to gain our knowledge and give confident about what we learnt.

Yes, it is possible in most cases. Just take an online course. There are plenty of websites with Harvard, Cambridge or Oxford lessons. However, it is not possible if you want to become a doctor

Self education or self taught? , well i guess it's more applicable though you find the things by the help of your curiosity , but again still not enough is a unique way though to educate yourself .

That's why we have teachers to taught the things we don't know , to learn but then again sometimes , or should i say now a days teacher , school rather , they just tend to somehow brainwash us , instead of living on the truth we live on a lie.

I think that skills, for you to be able to become specialist, can be learned outside school and experience can be acquired beyond education that will enable you to become a specialist in a specific field. However, it does not necessarily mean that you can be a specialist without a formal education or being self-taught alone. I still do believe that although we can learn different skills and techniques on our own, many learnings and lessons we can get through the help of others, by means of their knowledge and expertise. "No man is an island", as well as in learning. Education is never ending, and that means that we need to learn from others' experiences in order for us to grow, since we cannot experience it all.

Yes, nowadays it is possible to become a specialist by educating yourself thanks to the internet. I think that we all face the need to study something on our own. People have to learn new things constantly so educating at home is an easy way to achieve this. But for me the biggest problem is that sometimes I am too lazy to study by myself luckily I have learned to overcome this problem.

the human brain is able to make any person rich or intelligent.the main thing is to know how to apply all the abilities . It is of course possible to receive education.but that it was effective your need to find a community of interests. In which you will be able to provide assistance on any issues.Thus, you will save time searching for questions that you will have during training.

“It is better to know how to learn than to know.” – Dr. Seuss

At no point in history were you more capable of teaching yourself anything than today.

Picking up new skills has become as easy as firing up Google, doing some research, practicing in the right ways, and pushing yourself through the plateaus. But despite this incredible access to information, few people take full advantage of the opportunity they have for self-directed learning.

We’re stuck in the myth that to learn something you need to be educated on it when you’re perfectly able to educate yourself. It’s no longer necessary to get a college degree to be qualified to do something, and while big, old companies haven’t realized that yet, it’s common wisdom in smaller, more forward-thinking startups. Plenty of successful people today got where they are today by teaching themselves the skills, and there’s no reason you can’t do the same.

Self-education can free you from a job you hate, from a college major you aren’t excited about, and it will be a core skill for the 21st century. Your ability to respond to changes in the landscape of work and technology will be dictated by how skilled of a self-educator you are. How well you can take full advantage of the information available to you to grow your skillset.

I started studying how to learn outside a classroom around my sophomore year of college and primarily focused it to marketing and writing. Over the years of teaching myself new things, and now interviewing other people who have done the same, I’ve honed in on a method for educating yourself on anything.

If you follow this process, there’s no reason you can’t take yourself from novice to expert in any skill or topic without a college’s help. It starts with rethinking how we actually learn.

Determination and work hard on it in self education i think you will succeed, because it is not hard to find education everywhere you can find with the help of internet just make a research.

With the aid of technology i think it is good into self education, as long as you are willing to educate yourself  just help yourself and be disciplined enough in order to commit this knowledge.

self education is the most effective learning method for me.
I have got good results using self studies.
It is the way to learn things outside the syallabus.

we often need guidance of a teacher because if we are just one and nobody teaches us we do not know that what we think is right and good for us is wrong because it does not mean anything to our work and academic

it's possible that everyone needs to learn on their own and understand word by word in order to have a solid foundation of thought and this practice makes you extraordinary after that you learn with friends or groups around you who have already understood bitcoin and gifts.

In this education, it is possible by the help of the internet with the self discipline and a lot of patience.

Self-consciousness. I think this is the most important factor for success.

Learn to control your own pace of doing things, what to do and what not to do. Persistence is important.

I think the two most difficult things in life, one is to keep reading, the other is to keep moving！

self education is good but sometimes you rely yourself from other to learn with experience. Self education you can learn in any electronic devices like in computers, iPod,  cell phone and etc.  For me self education is great like me when I'm taking board examination Im with only self review but need time and efforts to spend.

Autodidact learning is great for learning a specific skill. Autodidact learning becomes very effective because it starts from our awareness to want to master a particular skill. Learning activities are self-taught to sharpen our maturity to be able to determine what we should do and what is good for us. However, in some people, self-taught is very difficult. This is because basically the person does not have a strong determination to learn. So they will quickly get bored even more when encountering a difficulty. Until finally return for them when learning activities are only obligations and not necessities. Learning by self-taught today is not at all without guidance. We may read a book or ask others about something we do not understand. Moreover, by utilizing the internet it can easily support autodidact learning activities. One way to be able to master a particular skill is to learn self-taught with the realization that learning is a necessity for us.

yes. I  think self education is good way to learn things. We can refer books and improve our knowledge. It's really good way to learn things. I'm university student and I used this method all the time to learn new things.
