sure, but schools might spark an interest in a subject that you otherwise might not be interested in learning about.

Depends on what you want out of it. If you want a piece of paper saying you've learned real good, go to school. If you just want to know a lot of cool shit, just read a bunch, listen to podcasts, and watch TV.

Nobody goes to school to "learn" you go to school because you get a document attesting that at least the bare minimum that is required for you to be considered a "professional" has been taught to you, and now you can take responsability for shit you say and do. I don't know how it works in burgerland but at least in the rest of the world if you are going to teach in a school you need to prove that you know how to teach history in a school, your bona fide word is just not enough. I understand how the case for some degree like History or other humanities might be or could be more flexible but if you are going to design something like a building or an oil refinery and you design it bad enough for something tragic to occur, than you can't just say "well bonkers good think I can't be held accountable since all I learned of engineering I learned from poignant YouTube channels".

At least where I live, a History course in an university is not about learning truuuuue history or becoming specialized in actual research on the subject but rather about learning a general overview of the western timeline and learning how to make fat stupid post-year-2000 brats learn that general overview
