    Just learned this particular student attended Lambda School from the back room of a failing mattress store where he worked off-hours shifts to pay the bills. He knew his job was going away and used his phone as a hotspot to get WiFi to attend.https://twitter.com/AustenAllred/status/1034808876997066753 …

        These are the people you want. Hungry. Capable. Something to prove and the grit to do it.

        Exactly Rocky. Lambda seems to have a good sense for student selection. Their model is such that they must decide whether to go deep or broad in future. Re Grit: can't say enough about the importance of this. Our ed sys is teaching learned helplessness today. Ticks me off

        Have you thought of starting a podcast where you sit down and interview students who’ve gone on to get jobs? It would be a very inexpensive way to share some really interesting stories. Could be beneficial in attracting new students, hiring partners, and future investment.

        I am happy you're succeeding and more for your students and regretting this wasn't a thing when *I* was starting out.
