All that is true but you are discussing extremely basic techniques which you should have learnt at uni and are entry level skills. For anything above that you will have to travel, use laboratories/ expensive equipment and either use university libraries buy/photocopy your own copies of books and get vast quanties of experience "handling" the material in your chosen speciality/technique, probably learning on the job being supervised by somebody more qualified and experienced than yourself. This is beyond most peoples resources, particularly when the only time and opportunity people have to train is during unemployment when their financial resources are low.
