Deep down I wish free higher education (like the kind I received in Ireland) would make all of these dilemmas about how to pay for your education is the lesser evil disappear. I think lambda's the lesser evil here, but I'm not saying it's good that somebody has to resort to it.
Almost every day we get a job offer for someone who has never made more than $10-20k, and we’re spending millions of dollars training people for no upfront cost, knowing we’ll only get paid back if they’re hired. Show me any other educational institution that does that.

We also have a $10,000 scholarship for minorities, and train them literally at our cost, but I don’t see that mentioned in any of the threads about how we’re screwing over minorities somehow

And then I see endless praise of Flatiron, which charges 10% once people are making $35k *in New York City*, so feels just s tiny bit disingenuous

Talk to
@KelvinBeachumJr who took the time to actually talk to dozens minority students, or read our reviews, or do anything other than look to find fault that actually isn’t there, and you’ll see why so many people are excited about what we’re doing -
I'm looking forward to seeing the updated website, and hopefully you can express the compassion in your policies without opening those policies up to abuse.

Will do, thanks!
