I figured you did read on your own.

It is fun to have classes, sometimes, too.

I agree, but I prefer not to take classes that has deadlines and I need more time to learn, due to developmental learning disorder.
 
Yes, that's a drawback of classes.
Keeping up with somebody else's schedule.
 
I never got the knack of learning in classrooms. I had one physics teacher who did a reliable five minute introduction to a lesson, and a five minute recap, and I excelled in that one class. Having something repeated when I've already gotten it still drives me crazy. I went from failing out of high school to guest - lecturing to graduating engineers via the library and some shop work to win a contest.
Now, I'm far more interested in the pre-verbal parts of our brain, and how our "hard wiring" is designed for tribal life, and still sets major limits on the programming we can run to adapt to civilization. This has plenty of application to all three of your interests.

That makes sense.
