I'm in the AI Nanodegree now and I have a Udacity Data Analyst nanodegree.
I also hold a traditional Engineering Masters and Engineering bachelors from colleges so I have that perspective as well.
You can read my take on the AI Nanodegree and other programs here.

In summary I think Udacity is the best value per dollar for education but you can't rely on a Nanodegree, or even a regular degree, to get you a job. Like mentioned below most people care about your practical work. Udacity helps you get there but it doesn't get you all the way. But I think it's still worth it. Plus Udacity is pretty cool and offers scholarships which is relatively unheard of in this MOOC space as far as I know
- WheelsAtLarge 10y agoThanks for the detailed post on your experience. I've also wondered about the value to the different online courses. Seems to be that the bottom line is getting thru the material. Motivation is the key. Any advice on that?
- canyon289 10y agoPretty much, the main differentiator I think is, do you just want to learn the topic, or do you want to get a job in the topic. One requires a lot more work than the other
