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
-
Not even for the people/network you met there?

Do u think it’s possible to do remote apprenticeships? How beginner can that student be for that to work well?
-
We have a remote apprenticeship built into Lambda School
-
I noticed that Lambda School is more for US citizens or Permanent Residents. Any plans to expand beyond that?
-
We’re dabbling outside the US

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.

Do you think that's right? I could see it either way
