I completely agree.  It seems people have been convinced that education is something that is provided by someone else, usually for money, instead of what you do for yourself as you figure out life.  There are classes, lessons, seminars, experts, etc for everything these days, I believe people have largely lost the ability to figure out things for themselves.  Many folks can't even figure out when they can retire (never a problem for humans so far), they have to go to some expert to tell them when they have enough money.
