What are advantages and disadvantages of self-study?

There are many ways to get knowledge; self-study which has both advantages and disadvantages is one of them. It supports us so much with lowest costs, flexible timeline and unpredictable results but it could meet many difficulties also such as unclear instruction, depending mostly on self-discipline.

Through self-study, we could earn a lot. First of all, there is no tuition fee. We know that it costs a lot for an efficient program to have a good result returned due to pays for qualified teachers, comfort rooms. Instead of that, we just need to spend certain but not much money for materials. The second thing is that we could study whenever we want. There is no class, so we do not have to go to class at a fixed time and a fixed place. Next, by that way, we have to solve problems our self, it could create an amazing creative mind with valuable experiences.

At the same time, self-study has many issues. Because of without guidance, maybe we could not make the best way to learn. We have to accept that teachers have much experience than anyone else, so they have an optimal program. Beside of that, each have his own self-awareness, the result depends on that much. If we do not have consciousness, not stick to plan, it is hard to achieve desired purpose.

Everything has two folds and self-study itself does. Know it, control it and change our self, we could have what we want. Although it have disadvantages, self-study is a skill which every one need.
