Of course you still have a choice.  The alternative to correspondence
courses is to buy a few textbooks and start reading them and doing the
problems.  It means you're strictly on your own if you hit problems,
but buying (say) two different books in hopes that they will help you
over each other's rough spots is a whole lot cheaper and more convenient
than a correspondence course.  If you don't insist on being spoon-fed
everything, this can be a very effective way to learn.
