Estimated Time Frame: TESU- BA in Computer Science

[FafaS]

I don't think we disagree except maybe with the usefulness of intro programming MOOCs.

If all you do is follow the degree program at TESU and take MOOCs without personal side projects, you will be the rare unemployed CS grad. I've found the intro programming MOOCs to be a joke including cs50 from Harvard and MIT 6.001. You have to do more than bag the degree and take a few MOOCs to be a developer. That's also why there are good developers with either no degree or irrelevant degrees in the field. But nowadays I can't touch the folks since HR won't accept them anymore without the degree. There is some politics behind refusing non degrees folks but I'll save that for another time.

I completely agree with you all.. Although I'm looking to have the degree in order to get my foot in the door (HR) and for personal reasons, I'm also making the best out of it with creating projects on my own, and coding as much as I can. It's more than just graduating sooner than later although I honestly don't want to spend 4 full years in school, I'm looking to make the best out of the degree in and out of TESU.
