Well said. I learned how to use Photoshop 4.0 by following online tutorials. I had no formal training in any kind of graphic design, I had zero artistic ability. But following Doc Ozone and Andy’s Awesome Art tutorials, I became good enough with the software to get a job designing ads for a local newspaper publisher.
As much as I learned, I still never thought I was smarter or knew more than the people who actually went to school for the knowledge, the people who spent years honing their craft. And that was just doing basic graphic design. I can’t imagine the thoughts going through a person’s head when they think watching some videos on YouTube make them qualified to make actual life or death healthcare decisions.
