you're training someone to breathe or fish, you're still training him - and
that's a service. A lot of courses on stupid things cost much higher.
I'd rather go for a course on Audio Engineering with Gratis software than
one with "industry-standard" software bundles. Software is only part of the
equation - hardware, knowledge, techniques, skill and talent play bigger
roles. Someone who can teach you those tricks of the trade deserves more
than just beer.
Agreed. Some of us have (what has become) intrinsic knowledge that we
take for granted and it's often hard to discern and separate it. We
live with it everyday. Good teachers have the ability to distill
complexity and present it in clear chunks for the rest of us to easily
digest. Teachers are worth their weight, and more, in gold, I'm in
awe of teachers.
