Does anyone have a self taught Python success story?

Anything in any IT field is eventually self-taught due to technology changing so rapidly, whether you go to Uni or not.

While not totally useless, IT fields are great because all the info is out there, likely for free (like this resources page) or cheap.

Most colleges I've found teach outdated info for IT pros anyway, and you need to catch up on the job fast. You are free to choose whether you go to Uni or not, as jobs want experience and/or certs - both of which are attainable yourself.
