I can tell you with absolute certainty that my undergraduate engineering degree was essential. There is no possibility that it could have been replaced with book learning or watching YouTube videos (even if YouTube had existed back then).

Precisely.

 "Push this button to floggle the spatchcock and make it yellow" should not form a central part of university education. It should be left to on-the-job training.

The "floggling of the spatchcock" should not be the "be all & end all" of "on the job training" either, as the occasion may arise when someone is required to floggle a goose instead, & the lack of basic theory of floggling stops them, whereas a bit more depth in learning for even us non-EE plebs would make us more adaptable.

 I have come to the realization if not always acceptance that there is much less out there than you think there is

the upside of this, is, if making content is your thing you shouldn't worry about not having anything new to present.

Agreed :)

But is good to have an out-of-harms-way place that the second-rate teachers can inhabit.
