Very well put.
I'm not knocking a home studio setup. I have one. I have learned a great deal on my own. I've just noticed my own learning curve is much faster when I'm working in pro studios. I always leave feeling like I've learned important information.
This weekend, a friend's band is doing a recording. I am going to pop in on the session, just to takes notes. Another great way of doing things would be to find a band or artist you like, and find out if they are doing any recording sessions at a pro studio. If they are, offer to pay a piece of it just so you can show up and assist. 99% the engineer(s) will be cool with this, and bands can always use the financial assistance. You could probably get away with like a hundred bucks for a full day. That's like taking a class for ten dollars an hour.
