I was married when I started my computer science degree. My wife let me get through my first year and then told me I had to get a job. So I did all of my studies on Lynda, focussing only on practical subjects like PHP and AJAX. Even though I started in 2010 and dropped out at the beginning of 2011, I just got offered my first $100k job. Tell me, if I was able to accomplish all of that at home, then why would I pay tens of thousands of dollars to attend a University where I am considered a Junior when I leave and join the industry? It just doesn't make sense.
