Quotes

You can set yourself up for lifelong learning. Your college degree doesn’t have to be the ending point of your education, yet that’s exactly how many students view it. With self-learning you can develop habits, skills, and interests that will prepare you for learning for the rest of your life by deepening your expertise in a subject and keeping up with the latest developments. Traditional education is about reading and regurgitation. Surely this is not the best approach to keep up in life, and there are other approaches that can be more beneficial.
