Beamo very well put, If it was not for the community archaeology I did outside of uni I would not have any of the skills I required and have asked that question myself, is the degree worthwhile, well yes it is if you want to research, but I would have been better off on some sort of apprentiship over 3 years rather than the 4 I did at uni.
I trained as a car mechanic for 3 years, doing 4 days in a garage and 1 in collage, maybe a course like that would be more worthwhile, you get proper practical experience, and the theoretical side as well.
As to training I have been asking for 4 months now if I can get some proper training on SLR cameras as I have no real experience on them, its little difficult to learn about that from a book.
The other problem with self teaching, which I fully believe in, is that it can lead to someone having many skills and no reward, but is expected to use them.
May god go with you in all the dark places you must walk.
