    Software development is a trade *ducks*https://twitter.com/heyellieday/status/1005922090820620288 …

     ✨Ellie Day ✨ @heyellieday
    My dad likes to compare software development to trades like plumbing or welding because “the jobs pay well and you don’t need a degree to be successful”. If that’s the case, like other trades, tech should more fully embrace apprenticeships as a way to start a career.

        In interviews you often position @LambdaSchool against a traditional 4-year secondary education. Do you ever describe it as a trade school?

        All the time. I compare it to they because that’s what people know, but I think the US should have way more trade schools than it does

        While I’ve got you—would you rather be joining Lambda School after a couple years of college or straight out of high school? Let’s assume those couple years come with a luxury car worth of debt in Stafford loans.

        The less debt the better, but so long as someone is scrappy and gritty we’ll accept either

        To rephrase—if you could go back in time and Lambda school already existed, knowing what you know now, would you go to college at all or just go to Lambda school?

        Just Lambda School. My college experience was largely a waste of time relative to how much I learned in industry

        Do u think it’s possible to do remote apprenticeships? How beginner can that student be for that to work well?

        I noticed that Lambda School is more for US citizens or Permanent Residents. Any plans to expand beyond that?

        I think more jobs than most people admit/realize are trades.

        It is a skill. “Trade” here just means “working class skill”. One more from the senses than from abstraction. Software development is more like law, medicine, or the sciences: an logical skill. Or you can just collapse skill with trade and make them identical.
