No, self-taught is fine for trivial tasks but for good solutions it take a well balnced education. Example: I've yet to interview a self taught programmer/analyst that had a grasp of space/time complexity.

(first year electrical engineering student here) Could you explain what you mean by space/time complexity? Is this just Big-O notation and the associated ideas regarding complexity, or is it more than this?
