Do you need to go to seminary to interpret Scripture?
No. Scripture is its own interpreter; the Bible always interprets for us. Formal seminary training is not required to learn how to interpret Scripture, contrary to the common notion that only seminary-trained people can interpret. Let the book interpret itself.

This instruction arises as Daniel chapter 2 continues, where Daniel is about to interpret the king's dream, and the text then moves into verse 37 addressing the king.
