Teaching yourself complex skills on YouTube is “the most important skill,” a post argues

A user describes parents worried that their 16-year-old daughter wasn't on track for a prestigious college. According to the account, the daughter said she'd learned guitar using only YouTube videos because she wanted to learn—not because anyone asked her to. The user says they reassured her parents, pointing to her kindness and calling the ability to teach yourself something complicated out of genuine interest “the one most important skill in the world.”
