I don't think the sentiment is weird at all. One of the best things I got out of school was the ability to search out credible resources on my own and continue my own education (albeit a bit stunted without structured guidance.) We have an awesome lens into each and every domain of human knowledge – the internet – and we ought to use it while we have it. If I could go back, feeling that way about it, I absolutely would.

Well, that certainly seems to be the case.
