Autodidact = Self-Taught

Usually Autodidacts & Self-Taught people didn't go to college and don't have a degree from a University... but this is not always the case

Here are some scenarios:

1. A computer science grad with a B.S. & M.S. teach themselves new tech they didn't learn in school.
2. A grad with a non-technical degree wants to learn to code to get a better job.
3. A college dropout that keeps teaching themselves new skills.
4. Middle School & High School students that learn advanced skills out of curiosity outside of school.

Unfortunately many jobs still discriminate against autodidacts & self-taught people by requiring a degree 😠

My goal is to help end this discrimination ✊

There are also many jobs that don't require a degree. Companies like Google & Neuralink accept equivalent practical experience ❤️

This repository will be a cloud app to try to help autodidact & self-taught people. I have a few idea's I'll try to do this:

• Prove that it is possible to earn a master’s degree equivalent via an autodidact education
• Develop curriculum for the most popular graduate programs using purely autodidact methodology.
  • There will be filter search controls to render guides & resources that can be used in an easy-to-understand syllabus like UI component
• Build a "hours worked in the last year" visualization VERY similar to the GitHub "contributions in the last year" visualization
  • I might just integrate Tableau for this
  • It will also show an outline of what the autodidact/self-taught person worked on (like what they studied or projects they did)

Personally I passionately disagree with bachelors degree programs. In the 4+ years it takes to earn a bachelors degree you could earn 2+ masters' degrees. So I will focus on masters' degree equivalent autodidact education

Please Anyone who supports autodidact/self-taught education:

contribute

1. code,
2. idea's,
3. advice,
4. your autodidact/self-taught education experience
   1. For now, I only have my own autodidact education to go off of, so I would like to learn about other peoples experience.

... This is going to be an extremely long-term project. I plan to work on it 1-hour a weekend.
