I have, but meh. College is over valued by society and it's not even guaranteed to pay off. Most stuff you learn in college can be found just from searching on the internet so the only real point in attending school is to get a piece of paper that will, if you're lucky, land you a decent job.

I agree that a lot of this is all available online, and even for free most of the time. But I think college studies have been able to put a lot of the information into perspective and also guide my learning - I wouldn't know where to start if I wasn't taking these courses. I guess maybe now that I do know what's out there I could probably ditch it for self-study.

Though I've encountered several students now who actually have many years of experience in this field but who are coming to school for a professional certification, too, so I think there is still benefit in it all.
