The great scientist Thomas Edison was self educated , wow ,can't believe that Is it possible being a great inventor didn't go to college and university ?
He actually had less than a year of formal education. Fortunately his mom was a schoolteacher and home schooled him. He was a voracious reader and everything he needed or wanted to know was in books and magazines.
His take on college was like this quote from "Good Will Hunting"
“You wasted $150,000 on an education you coulda got for $1.50 in late fees at the public library.”
