Huhh? How's it a strawman? Strawman: an intentionally misrepresented proposition that is set up because it is easier to defeat than an opponent's real argument.

I am not misrepresenting you, I m not really even arguing with you or disagreeing with you all that much. I agree, online degrees are not providing job skills. But neither are many (not all) traditional degrees. Just one example is people fresh out of school who have never used or even heard of version control. Then there's the "can't do fizzbuzz" example. This isn't even exclusive to CS degrees. The reason I choose my degree program is it advertised itself as career focused education. Either we should make education more career focused or accept that universities aren't primarily for job training and find alternatives.
