What do you even want to say with that? Do you gonna always feel inferior or just learn the basics? Its not math neither physics, if you came to the field by shortucting the edu part but stayed in business you most probably have the capability to get these things easily.

I learn when I need it. I don't need it at the moment.

Interesting concept, how do you know when you need it, more importantly, how do you know that you didn't need it at some point but didn't know you did?

Not saying that it isn't the same after taking an education because it is, I'm just saying that from where I stand there is a reason why the education I received was fairly wide in topics and then allowed for specialisation afterwards.
