    EVERY ONE is self taught. There just isn't any way some one is going
    to 'learn' you any skill. Schools can provide a rich resource of
    knowledge (provided they offer what you seek), but research,
    experimentation, and persistence (rent and hunger as previously
    mentioned) also work very very well. 

    Workshops and school are very useful in the beginning, things like
    which end of a tool is hot or sharp, and a grounding in a few basic
    skills. After that you are on your own. Just remember, if you are
    ever going to be self supporting you are also going to have to go
    well beyond what you were taught in a class of ten others.
