>>13389911For people who aren't total autodidacts, doing
just that can be unmotivating, boring, confusing
and full of unsolved questions. This is why we
have teachers and professors that tell us how
it's done, you to build on what you experience,
and study buddies and tutors when they can't
be arsed to tell us the details. Google is great,
but one would have no idea what to seek for
out of a million searches without a bit of
guidance.
So, for most people they need a guide on their
side with a sense of direction and a big sword
to cut through the thicket that is the STEM field.
