Refactored #062: “Schoooool’s out. For. Ever!”

On this episode of Refactored…

  • Coding Boot Camps. They are numerous. They are well-funded. They… promise more than they can deliver? The guys discuss. (TLDR — the phrase “jumpstart, not a shortcut” gets used)
  • Chris misses a crucial opportunity to drop a “Your mom goes to college.”
  • What are entry-level qualifications, anyway? Chris offers his perspective.
  • But is it web scale? [NSFW]
  • A tsunami of vengeful hellfire crashes ashore the lands of Academy. Laying waste the outskirts of most modern 4 year comp. sci. degrees, razing the town of “undeclared majors,” salting the lands of “general education credits,” and rending asunder the scrolls of “this is better than technical school.”
    • Graduates don’t use the degrees they get.
    • Skilled trades can yield a very comfortable standard of living.
    • Bachelor’s degrees don’t prepare you for industry.
    • Inlfation-adjusted post-secondary education costs have been SOARING.
    • People don’t have the tools they need to manage the debt.
    • How does this episode NOT outtro with Alice Cooper?!
    • … and much more!
