But even if that bullet point is BS, I am sceptical that the ROI on spending $7k to get 1000+ hours better at your field can be THAT bad. Maybe suboptimal, with all the good free/cheap resources out there, but a waste of time? I'd be surprised.
Besides, you get to avoid meetings for a couple more years, and that by itself might be worth $7k :)
