“Give me a book and a machine and Ill learn at my own pace, and frankly a lot faster. It didnt take me months to learn how to program. It took me days. I believe more complex languages would have taken me weeks, but I wouldnt have had to spend hour after hour in a classroom bored to death. I wouldnt have had to spend years getting a degree. I wouldnt have had to go broke in the process.”
People like you, my siblings and younger relatives past the age of 21 are why the brick and mortar 4-? year college programs/degrees are in trouble and will be gone in about a decade.
Once again, I agree with someone. Your right IMO.
Ive been a big supporter of the idea apprenticeship would be far better at educating workers than college would be.
Even if you have a four or more year degree, whats the first thing they do when you go to work? Why they train you of course.
Some fields require the additional years of knowledge, but many dont.
