Nobody, absolutely nobody, has a greater interest in and responsibility for your education than yourself.

In today's world, the only people most of us can blame for our poor education is ourselves. Most of what I learned, I learned after leaving the university system. If anything, what my formal education did was to provide me with the skills to acquire knowledge on my own and also instill in me the desire and confidence to do so. The present day world which provides us with MOOCs, Wikipedia, freely available books from every corner of the world and from every era, ability to hold discussions with like-minded learners from every part of the world, etc., are all extremely conducive to self-education. It's a terrible shame to let this golden opportunity go to waste.
