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
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.

Mark TwainWell I can become a Full Stackoverflow developer on a new platform in a day. 21 days sounds about right for a total noob to master the fine art of copypasta. :rolleyes:
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

I'm pretty sure I would not like to live in a world in which I would never be offended. I am absolutely certain I don't want to live in a world in which you would never be offended. Freedom doesn't mean the absence of things you don't like. Dave
