      Master’s in Accounting: 6 years, $150k in tuition, $65k/yr job. Lambda School: 6 months, $27k in tuition, $80k/yr job. If one student went for a Masters in Accounting, another started Lambda, at 6 yrs the Lambda grad comes out $603k ahead (not including taxes and interest)https://twitter.com/Kangkeru/status/1053702873526063106 …

      I was going to try to defend this since I have my masters in accounting, but I can’t. Upside is pretty good on income side though, but I’m sure it is for Lamda grads as well.

      The cost part is a bit high though on the Masters in accounting. You can get them way more affordable than $150k...That being said, love what Lamda is doing for programming/education.

      I took it as 150 for 6 years although it only takes 5.

      It would cost maybe $50k at @BYU and they have one of the best accounting programs in the world.

      I think what's also important is seeing how the Lamda grads fare 3, 5, and 10 years out with regard to careers and compensation. CPA comp upside is fairly high.

      Software engineer upside is huge. Someone making $80k as a junior will be $120-150 as a senior

          This is too anecdotal. As the years progress it would be nice to see actual benchmarking done of Lamda grads to really see what area of the country they can earn those incomes, etc.
