Self-education.

[veroniquee]

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?

Well in is really hard if you are starting building up your foundation. All of us need someone to guide is in order to understand a certain thing.

[Leon2_18]

Yes, of course, if you wish, you can learn everything.Now many do not work in the specialty for which they studied,if you understand that spent years of training in a profession that you do not want to work then do not be afraid, you can change everything.

Self Education is good for those who cannot afford to go  to colleges and schools.

Educating yourself can be as simple as picking up an extra book on a new subject, or taking a beginner's course to learn a new hobby. The following are practical ways to take charge of a self-guided education: Attend free community workshops.

I think it's possible, because the most important thing in learning is self-motivation/education, while the motivation/ education of others people is a supporter

I belive on Self learning because i have done that myself and now i am a free lancer and i do things those i learned from self education

[Ann Impas]

With the internet, youtube, pdfs, software etc. i think it is possible but will depend on the subject matter and your access to equipment/resources, and your dedication and ability. I assume by yourself means you can interact with others online still.

Yes your right. With the current resources we have today online, almost everything can be learned. The only problem in the certification that you learn it already. Because there is no such thing as certification for self education. No company will hire you base in self education and without a formal education background. It's sad but that is the reality.

nothing is impossible in this world, as long as you have strong determination and belief then things like that you can do. because in the present day you can find out everything through the internet.

[Leonia-Ridinger]

As someone from the software industry I strongly believe in learning by doing. But I also believe that's only the first step. Once you learn the basics and are able to apply your knowledge, that's when you need to start learning some theory about it to bring your game to the next level. It can all be learned online, both practice and theory, but - I think there is a lack of guides for learning in this way. There are sooo much resources, but if you don't know what you should learn, or in which order, then all the resources in the world are not that valuable.

[Blackmet]

At my opinion it's not possible because you will never get enough experience without help of people that already good on something. You are weak alone, man.

[WHTP]

My first comment after searching for something I can comment about. Self education is possible, but can be difficult if you don't have a college deadline. Easy if it's something that you naturally are into and seek without effort.

[T.DeLorean]

Definitely, and all because of the internet.

Reason why there is still a stigma that self education is not possible, is because its a new thing. Our parents did not grow up in this era, and for them, getting ahold of a certain information, required trips to the local library, scrolling through books, etc.

I remember when I was young, my mom called my grandma to ask her  to open her books about astronomy, and look for the Hale-Bopp comet, because it was about to pass.

We do take the internet for granted these days, that's for sure.

Went a bit out of topic, but yes, self education is definitely possible. Courses, pdfs, word documents, a bit of music, daily habits, and you will get there in no time.
And it won't be just home. As you progress in your area, your gut will tell you its time to merge with people who do the same thing, and this is how you will network and learn from experiences and mentors. Wonderful times.

No! All of us need guidance. It is different if you are guided with those who have experience on real thing.

[acener]

Is it possible to become a specialist studying by yourself?

I believe it is still possible if we really want to. A person who really want to learn would do everything and will find ways to learn. There are also ways and tools to gain knowledge. Sometimes, it could be through internet and also through the books around us. Reading is actually a key for us to learn things that we want.

[tiar4dewie]

The power of reasoning is different, and it is a talent.
So far, many have managed to learn something by autodidact. Just use the existing media to find the information needed in that field.

[WorldBiz project]

If you feel a certain stagnation and lack of intellectual development, begin to make lists of specific tasks. This will help not to lose sight of what you want to do and help you better plan your time. Write down the names of the books you want to read and indicate the deadlines. After reading the book it would be good to see a film on it to look at the story from a different point of view and expand its knowledge of the subject.

Self education is the most important for a person because it is one of the best way to make your parents proud.
