So wait, who's the woman? For some reason the only name I can think of is Betty White, and I wasn't aware of her being a convicted felon.

Raising awareness is no longer the issue, the ice bucket challenge was successful, people know about ALS now, so please stop dumping water on your head, and actually give some money.

Of course, there's the matter of certification. Diplomas and the like, but if I self taught myself music production in 6 months, had all the skills but no certification to show it, then spend the next 18 months building up a music portfolio and doing freelance work, after 2 years I'd be much more likely to find a job having shown that I am self motivated, able to manage my own time and focus on important areas, have a full portfolio to demonstrate my skill, and a lot of freelance work as experience, than my friend who spent those 2 years studying and came out with a diploma, no experience, no portfolio, and no references.
Rant over.

If you have the self motivation to teach yourself graphics design or music production and use sites like youtube as learning resources, you should. It's cheaper, you can learn at your own pace, and you can focus on parts you feel are important.
I learned everything my friend learned in 2 years of studying music production at school, in 6 months on the internet.
The only reason hatred against self-taught creatives still exist is because people who have spent a lot of money and time studying these subjects in school refuse to believe that an equal, if not higher level of education can be achieved for free via the internet. These people are wrong.

I really disagree with the message this strip is giving.
I learned all of my music production skills through blogs and youtube, and I'm far more skilled at it than a friend of mine who spent 2 years studying computer music production.
Why? Because creativity isn't taught, you study things like music production and graphics design to learn fundamental principles in the field, and to learn how to use your software of choice.
Sure, my friend may now know every tiny detail of music theory, and can piece together a nice sounding melody. But he lacks the mastering skill, mixing skill, synthesizing skill or general ability to use a DAW.
The same applies to graphics design, it's all well and good learning about how to catch the viewers eye, and complementary colours and similar principles, but if you don't know how to use any form of graphics design software, you're not gunna get very far.

You can learn latin, but it is a dead language, there is no correct pronunciation for any of the words.

If you do A, B instead, a console appears that says "Debug Innited"
Oh and for those who can't do it, Down Down, Left, Right, left, Right, B, A makes a fashionable raptor slide along the bottom of the screen.

70 million, not 7 million. And you wouldn't add the 10, you would subtract it. They spent $70,350,000 to destroy a $10 tent, total cost of the operation: $70,349,990
