MasterSchool raises $100M

Brownie points for someone who can remember the name of the MOOC or provider, (I just can't remember it for the life of me), who was offering certificates for free until you get a job after 6 months - or something along the lines of that.  This MasterSchool is doing exactly that, however, they're charging $15K for tuition and when you find a job that starts paying $30K/year, that's when you start "paying your education"....  I think it's a good idea, but that tuition is just too much for these type of offerings!

That’s not a good pay for a masters.

It's not even minimum wage in many parts of the country.

Though they don't appear to offer an actual masters degree, it seems like a platform for others to provide professional training. An expensive mooc.

I know there is a coding bootcamp that does something like that, but I can't remember the name
