College major

If it's undergrad, it's a wash, IMHO. Unless my kids gets some full scholarship, they're going to community college for a couple of years and then probably UTSA to finish. Otherwise, you're just wasting money.

Agree 100%

lol thinking you can get the same education from Wiki and OJT as you can from a degree program at a reputable school. You and WC must be related. Learn a few buzz words, don't understand application or theory, just know how to push button A to make module A reset. That's master level stuff.

That's not how true understanding is come upon. Learning takes initiative and figuring all minute details out on your own and not by somebody holding your hand. I'm not discounting the importance of classical training, just that I see it wholly unnecessary if the intent is merely to learn something new.

Your acting like individuals cannot do this without a babysitter is a slap in the face of most our greatest achievers.

OTOH, most people are way too biased to set about learning anything without professional help.

The OP isn't about learning something new. It's about "College Major". I don't think anyone here would enroll in a degree program to learn a hobby.
