Friendly reminder to abandon Academia and obtaining a literary degree in favour of Autodidacticism.

And do what for a job?

Do both. Bullshit an Associate's at a cheap community college and then bullshit a Bachelor's at whatever college you transfer to, all while teaching yourself. You're not gonna get a job without a degree.

Clear bait but important to remember anyone who uses the word "autodidact" is shit.

Teaching yourself in a vacuum is ineffective. Look at lit

I don't agree with you for academia in general... But why wouldn't people, instead of doing a literature degree, just write books?

>> No.9081575

Who's going to ensure that what I've learned is correc or that I've learned the most relevant information?

As much as I wish it weren't the case, seof-learning can never be enough to really engage with a field. It's a shame that professional schooling is so difficult to access after a certain point, but that's just the way back it is.

Yes, goy. Listen to fat middle-aged professors going through a midlife crisis who flirt with all the female students!

Find a useful forum where they discuss the subjects you've studied and read them or join the discussion. You will probably more than likely find gaps in your knowledge that way.
