I don't know what the current rates are (I never went to college) but Google says it's about $50,000 to get a CS degree if you live in the US.
But an online course might be $50 or $100.
I've had lots of folks who took my build a SAAS App with Flask course say they learned more about web development in my 10 hour course than their 4 year degree. Of course you learn different things during a CS degree, but it's interesting at how big of a gap there is in time vs money. 4 years and $50k vs a few days or weeks and $50.
- wyattpeak 6y agoYou're comparing apples and oranges there, in fact you say it straight out: "you learn different things during a CS degree". It's not a web development course, which is why there's such a big gap in time. I could believe finding a well-produced collection of courses equivalent in material to a CS course for say $1000, but not $50. Not by a country mile.
