Does this make anybody else cringe???

Lately, I've been hearing an advertisement on the radio that goes something like this... "Meet Joe. A year ago he was working in a big box store selling car stereos. Now Joe has a promising career in Information Technology working fewer hours and making more money. You too can have start a new computer career in as little as 4 months..." :omg: What the elephant

I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Goto Q&A and look at some of the questions there. These are the graduates of the course. :-)

It rather depends on the hours, I'd have thought. I learnt to code on a similar length course which was 40 hours a week - that's probably a lot more coding tuition (600 hours plus) than a CS graduate gets over a 3 year course.
98.4% of statistics are made up on the spot.

Go to Q&A 1 year back and you see exactly the same questions from last years 'graduates.' Sheesh, A 4 month course, why cant they take 10 minutes (in fact 2 would suffice) for a lesson on using a search engine ???

No, you can get a quick Tech certificate and then get a job paying better than working retail.
Everyone is born right handed. Only the strongest overcome it. Fight for left-handed rights and hand equality.
More to the point - get an education and you don't have to make minimum wage selling car stereos. But if you think you'll be working fewer hours, we'd like to introduce you to a little thing we call, "real life".

I think most syllabus content includes just one line of text. "Go to CodeProject to answer all of your homework questions."

It was a bunch of Jawas sitting around the server, performing rituals and chanting, to fix a memory leak. In their religion you don't do that by looking for the bug in the code. Instead, you perform some rituals to please the garbage collection. And I thought that cargo cults only existed on islands in the Pacific.

Yes, very much. There is a senior level developer at work who sent his son to one of those $15,000 bootcamps and the kid could no get a job afterwards. The kid did not have any previous experience or university studies. I get the total cringes when a student spends years at a for profit institution university and goes into major debt, sometimes 6 figures, and still cannot get a job. Obama went after them and even the military cut off the GI bill, but they're making a comeback.
