It's very funny that "Get rich quick! Buy my DVD and come to my training course to learn how" scammers are thought of in a negative light but when you are a university and charge more money it becomes noble endeavor.
- goalieca 9y agoThese universities are accredited so they are hardly a scam.
- matt_wulfeck 9y agoI think the ROI here is going to be a lot better. It's a masters from one of the most prestigious schools in the country.
- wu-ikkyu 9y agoMaybe, maybe not. It's not just $65k plus fees and expenses, its also the opportunity cost of having sunk a year into this. How long would it take to recuperate those losses on a product manager salary? Perhaps just landing an entry level product manager job would teach you the practical skills you need, and you get paid for doing it instead of the other way around.
- mdorazio 9y ago100% agree. The key here is that they are targeting people who already have a CS undergrad degree and thus are likely already employed or going to be employed in high-paying jobs with good future prospects. I'm not really seeing the ROI on this.
- sjg007 9y agoWell it formalizes the product manager role.. so like an MBA? Here you also get connections across the software industry. You probably learn some skills as well. Longer term it might help push you further up the food chain.
