As I said elsewhere, there is no network in learning to code by yourself, or what have you. Assuming my children could learn everything they need from the Internet to give them stable, well paying jobs while competing against twice the number of global applicants as I did is truly wishful thinking.
- CyberDildonics 10y agoThis 'college is about networking' argument is one of the weakest rationalizations out there, as if it isn't possible to walk up to someone and show them directly that you can program using something you wrote and an ipad. Anyone can also make a webpage and show off a demo by sending someone a link. Do you know who students meet at college? Other students trying to get jobs and professors who overwhelmingly don't even have ties to professionals in their industry. Every interview but one I've gotten by going through a process that anyone could go through and it has been my work that has stood out.
