It’s great to have acquired knowledge, but experience is the best way to learn. In my field, I have to actually practice law to be a lawyer.

Although I graduated from law school, those courses don’t make you a lawyer. You still have to take a bar exam to get a license to practice. And then you have to practice law by helping people and pay a yearly bar fee association fee. So yes, courses don’t merely make you anything. Experience and doing doing does.. .

Education is big business especially these “online courses”.
