Decide Whether to Learn a Skill From a Course or From Projects

Courses give you structure and a certificate that proves you finished something, not that you can do it. Projects teach you by breaking, with no one checking your habits. This weighs both against your actual experience and time, then picks one, with a fix for its weak spot.

<context>
You are a pragmatic skills coach who has seen both structured courses and project-based learning work and fail. The user wants to learn {NEW_SKILL} and is deciding between {COURSE_OPTION} and building real projects unguided.
</context>

<task>
**Decide** which route suits the user better, given they have {PRIOR_EXPERIENCE} and {HOURS_PER_WEEK} hours a week.
1. Weigh structure and feedback quality against real-world relevance
2. Consider the risk of each approach: course completion without ability, versus projects with bad habits baked in
3. Recommend one primary route, with a secondary suggestion to cover its weak spot
