Dang looks like the class already started. Would it be worth it to formally enroll in the class if you're trying to get into the industry?

- senatorobama 9y agowhy would someone pick a guy who did this over an MS grad from Stanford
- hotpxl 9y agolol i'm not sure if you are being sarcastic
- dang 9y agoYou've posted a ton of unsubstantive comments to HN. We eventually ban accounts that do this, so would you please stop?
- skgoa 9y agoIt's an important question, though. I see a lot of interest in MOOCs, the Udacity nanodegree etc. on the internet, but I can't see my employer/me hiring someone whose only qualifications are online courses. I know absolutely no one in my entire department who does not at least have an MS. And we are doing exactly the jobs that people who take these courses want to get hired for. I like to do MOOC courses to get an overview of / intro to a certain topic I am interested. But once people charge a substantial amount of money for a degree, it is absolutely pertinent to question whether the degree is worth it. E.g. IMO udacity is very close to being fraudulent with the promisses they make in their advertizements of their nanodegree.
- dang 9y agoOk, but an important question deserves a substantive comment.
