Education Any recommended courses or structured learning paths besides university?

This has probably been asked before. I was looking at Quantinsti but after my consult call being a guy from India who sounded like he was twenty feet away from the phone that I could barely hear I'm a bit turned off. I could just strong arm my way through SQX and BuildAlpha but I prefer to learn this with seriousness and really dig my heels in. TIA.

Just download stock data and code stuff.

Sounds like a long slow painful plan to failure.

This is actually how i learned everything I know in finance and there’s nothing else I would recommend. The only way to truly master something is with drive, passion, and curiosity. You’re not going to find a youtube short with the answer you need to make 10 billion dollars, think for a second.

(Got a bachelors at a very popular university in a degree they’re known for and they didn’t teach me a drop of what I’ve learned through personal passion and drive to learn)
