At 24 I mostly played video games and avoided studying for my MSc (which I passed a few years later despite my best efforts to flunk it). Then I found what I really like, dropped out from a PhD program, and am now two decades later pretty good at it.

Everyone has their own path. If it’s aligned with existing formal education and literature, that’s awesome. But there are other paths as well.
