Education is very often just a measure of privilege and compliance. I speak from experience: I have 2 Bachelor's degrees.
The hard parts were things like navigating the beaureacracy for the admissions and financial aid. It was hard showing up and putting time into all of the tedious bullshit work while also working a full time job to pay rent and bills. It was hard to spend the next decade tossing a huge chunk of my income every month towards student loans. The actual learning was definitely the easiest part.
