Math should also be very self-teachable. Though it takes a lot of discipline or (better) passion.

Almost all ground-breaking mathematics was done at a very young age.

P.S. And at 22 I fear I am already too old to ever become a great mathematician.

And you think you have a depressing career outlook?
