The problem with being self-taught isn’t so much that there are gaps, but that you don’t know where the gaps are, and you don’t have the language to discuss (or Google) them easily.
Not a problem with “self-taught” per se, as hypothetically you could read all of the textbooks covering the respective major (which would be faster and easier than if you were still a student and knew less).
