Bit of a fallacy to think you’ve become a better programmer by spending $5,000 per month on instruction instead of $625 per month, isn’t it? Or that the student with 6 months instruction is somehow more employable than the student with 48 months?
That makes question who is more employable: a student with 48 months of University, or someone with 6 months of Lambda and 2.5 years of real world experience? Note, I assumed the Lambda grad had a year unemployed.
