Self-education.

[delightme]

self-education as the true appliance of learning and as absorbing everything that you yourself encounter in the world. Self-education could possibly be learning about a specific TV series at your own time, because you are teaching yourself about a subject which you have had no formal education and you will also become an autodidact in the subject of that particular TV series

Is it possible to become a specialist studying by yourself?

Yes, it's possible. I think a lot of people here gained their expertise by themselves, or are in the process of doing so. Especially now that universities and c companies are putting lectures and courses online for free -- and with the increasing availability of information in general -- it is more possible than ever to educate yourself.

[LadyBB]

Acquiring knowledge or a skill by yourself,rather than being taught it by someone else such as a teacher at school.

With the internet access and all the ressources that we can find on it, it's becoming easier to learn by yourself. If you want to learn playing guitar for example or coding HTML, why not.
If you are searching for very specific topic, self education has its limits

[bernashka]

Remember that education is what's left after training. And it does not matter how you got knowledge in higher education or yourself. The question is only the effectiveness of assimilation and application in practice. They say to be an expert in any field is enough to read 10 good articles. And of course understand them.

In my opinion, thanks to the Internet you can get theoretical knowledge almost in every sphere. And even become a professional unless the chosen sphere requires some specific practice. For example, for becoming a    health care worker. But if you want to be a developer or translator, all you need is self-discipline and high motivation.

This is the good thing in our new world, you don't really need school since there is an internet, you don't need to have a class room since you have your own PC and you do not need to have a teacher since you have a lot of sites to visit with a lot of MOOCs (massively online open course).

Maybe the problem here is the certificate since in our country, you still need the certificate to apply to better jobs.

It helps you know a lot of things as compared to getting educated by someone else.

Is it possible to become a specialist studying by yourself?

yes it is still possible depending on our perseverance and eagerness to learn. Our technology now is advanced and there are already ways for us to gain information and knowledge that we want to gain. Through reading articles, internet would be really a helpful thing in learning nowadays. If you are very willing to learn and gain wisdom, it is really possible for you.

[Marjo04]

It is possible however is not easy and self education does not give you the relevant certificate, you can know a lot but if you want to venture into any industry even though you have the knowledge they might not want to employ you due to the lacking of certificate. 

I agree with this.even if you had lot of knowledge some company will not accept you without certificate of education from school.and self education is to widen more our knowledge and apply it.

[Skellen_Nilf_gaard]

Is it possible to become a specialist studying by yourself?

Yes, very possible (even more effective than colleges these days)! Why? Because you learn the skills you will need at your workplace, nothing extra! You also save time and money! Thus, I do vote for self-education (in any field)! 

[fcf1081]

It is possible, self education is a choice, there are people who chooae to study alone, by all means all by himself.. however he still be needing somebody to evaluate, mentor and guide him to see if he is progressing and doing what is right...he still need school to develop his social and personal life.

[darknuke]

Yes, it' possible. By studying yourself you start to understand the things by your own way. Which if explained by someone else can complicate you

I agree to you that who gives you the certificate since most of the company in our country when hiring they should have certificate or diploma so much better you have to go to school to have your certificate, so education is important in school. But still possible can educate through internet .

[janaiz]

Is it possible to become a specialist studying by yourself?

Yes it is possible nowadays because of the high technologies we have, like google it helps us, but it depends in your determination to learn.

[Guapongbadoy]

Is it possible to become a specialist studying by yourself?

Yeah it is possible. I remember the back that I've been read last week about the history of medicine on how it was discovered by every passionate person. Some of them experienced discouragement but they keep on going to continue the thing which they discovered in order to develop the it to become more helpful and yes they made it. It is under by self study by observing things and by that we are now enjoying their works. There maybe negative effects for not having a formal study but as long as your learning will contribute that will be a great success not just for self but also for others.

[alrez]

I think it's impossible if anyone try to become a specialist studying by theirself. albert einstein for example, he had invented the light bulb, he had to repeat how many hundreds or how many thousands of experiments. it would be easier if we study, work or build something done not alone. it will save time and effort.

[HelperAdvisorsLLP]

I believe that you just need to have a desire
There are so many ways to study something today - all you need is time and will

[Rizki_ct]

It is possible to become a specialist thru self studying but it won't be recognized not unless it is in a form of a degree or course. In this world work and adulthood, you need a clear proof of being a specialist.
