    It doesn’t? You’re paying for brand recognition and a piece of paper that says you can follow directions and spend money. Learning is free. Don’t let capitalism tell you what’s important.

      You can’t learn as efficiently outside of learning institutions than within them. Additionally, certain levels of education require a structured environment. No amount of self education will turn you into a surgeon, engineer or scientist. These are professions built on decades to centuries of accumulated knowledge and require continuous external review from teachers to be learned.

        If your goal is to participate in education as a vehicle for capitalism then yeah, you’re gonna have to pay for it. If you want to learn how to support bees so they flourish, that’s pretty easy to do without a lot of money. Regardless, Joe Schmo with a GED and Elon Musk are both gonna die one day.
