I can agree that self-teaching is an important aspect of life. I was raised with a motto of "If you don't know something, look it up." That's why my parents bought a set of Encyclopediae for my brother and me.
I believe we should be motivated to learn on our own, outside of any class structure. But I can't help but agree with filtherton. College classes help you to learn stuff you may not have the will, or the means to study by yourself. They serve a purpose.
EULA, it's wonderful that you believe in being self-taught. But who wrote that book on history you're reading? Or that book on Biology? I bet they went to college.

If you could really get to know someone and know that they weren't lying to you, then you would know the world was real. Because you could agree on things, you could compare notes. That must be why people get married or make Art. So they'll be able to really know something and not go insane.
