its unfortunate that so many individuals, AND institutions have fallen prey to social engineering with regard to the college/university scam/paradigm... the pricetag of an education is artificial, the physical experience of exposure to tech and mech is not however... ...being of an independent learning persuasion, is underated... the movie g00dw1ll hun7in6 depicts a talented person that has assumed a wide base of rounded education independently and eventually is endorsed by the academic community... that person is not a myth, there are many like that character, the academic community however is a good old boy mentality, and the possibility that someone may present challange to the degree program is almost nonexistent... at best a selected set of year1 courses may be waived...THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE CEREBRAL FORTITUDE TO WALK INTO A UNIVERSITY AND SAY I DESERVE A PhD PLEASE GIVE ME MY SHINGLE AFTER I DEMONSTRATE MY OPINION IS BASED IN FACT! Far too many of these people are turned away, or left to languish in an academically feeble learning institution. A greater number are imprisoned financially by the debt trap that is unlike any other loan... learning is free has no costs and is only limited by the self... EDUCATION IS A TRAP! its time to rethink the value of real learning versus education
