wondering how you compete with the MFEs from MIT / Harvard / Yale / [other top school] for that BSD quant job when on your resume it says "I read a lot of free shit on the internet" ?
you don't pay $100k for the knowledge, you pay $100k for a ticket to the party. everyone knows that.
of course, if you want to be an entrepreneur or trade your own $, that is a different story. but this seems unrealistic for any kind of mainstream career move.

Great point, I have experienced exactly this problem.
It's actually the reason I started writing on the internet (note the extremely clever site name).
