I have read about the "getting education for free somewhere else," but I don't understand. I have had taken classes from absolute experts in certain fields, met with them personally and picked their brains to understand their way of thinking.

I welcome "continuing education" opportunities that would give me exposure to such varied academic disciplines once again. How would you purport to achieve this?

Get involved in a field that you're passionate about, and start contributing back. Experts take note of passion, because it's so rare. Most of them are continually on the lookout for up-and-coming talent that's genuinely interested in the subject.
