Self-taught - /ˌsɛlfˈtɔːt/

There is an actual English word for someone who learns things by themself. I'm very proud to be a member of that elite club and even proudly say that today, I get paid for a skill & knowledge that I learnt by myself.

Oh, the word is Autodidact and directly translates to 'having acquired knowledge or skill on one's own initiative rather than through formal instruction or training.'
