Ray Bradbury and Self-Education

Posted By Cliff Tuttle | June 10, 2012

No. 848

Just a footnote to the reports on the death of Ray Bradbury, author of Fahrenheit 451, a few days ago.  He graduated from High School during the height of the depression and could not afford the cost of higher education.So he studied full time at the public library.

In the age of the internet, self-education can be accomplished without leaving the house.  Yes, self-ed lacks certain features of earning a degree.  But there are also advantages, too. Like creativity.  When you educate yourself you don’t have the disadvantage of being herded into the same p;astute as all the other sheep.
