Q: What kind of reasonable person would spend 4 YEARS doing work and PAYING between $10k - $35k a year (on average) for the privilege of doing so? And get 0 support for finding a job afterwards?
A: US college student.
Keep that in mind when you complain about 4 weeks of unpaid work with a high chance of getting a highly paid job afterwards.
"High chance" because obviously Lambda will stop working with companies who see it as a free labor program.
- damnencryption 6y agosigh something is wrong here and I can't pinpoint exactly what.
- brentoken 6y agoI can - it's that secondary education has issues that are getting worst faster than they are being solved.
- site-packages1 6y agoI am unaware of any colleges that don't have a career services office that help students get jobs and internships during and post-graduation. Even community colleges have these things. Though, like Lambda School, they can be of questionable quality. Additionally, Lambda School is specifically to focus on getting a job. Getting a job can be one outcome of college, but it's not necessarily the specific focus. For that, a comparison to a trade school might be more on point, where the specific focus is to learn a trade and then get people a job in that trade afterwards. Perhaps a more apt comparison would be Lambda School to Barbers College.
