We are currently in the information age, where individuals must proactively educate themselves to stay relevant. Developing expertise in a specific niche allows people to offer valuable advice or services, making their skills essential in a rapidly changing world. Self-education is enough to create this expertise; formal schooling is not always necessary.

As automation and technological change accelerate, the demand for specialized knowledge grows. Having a unique skill set developed through self-education ensures the right information and help reach others at critical moments, emphasizing the importance of personal initiative in learning. We're already living in the information age. Everyone will have to educate themselves the best they can, become an expert in some niche, so that they can be in the right place to advise someone else or perform some other service. The more technical the automation becomes, and the more quickly the world changes, the more we need information from just the right person arriving in our lives at just the right time. You don't need a formal education to do that; just a niche you've created for yourself through self-education.
