Yesterday someone (ML, CS PhD, Stanford) said he would not hire a person who is online educated in Machine Learning. Who here agrees and who thinks differently?

I am learning ML online currently. Am a monther of a toddler and cannot go full time to college, does that make me less intelligent then anyone with a college degree? (I am already Ms in Geoinformatics)

I think it’s not a question of being more or less intelligent, I hope we all agree on that. I’m wondering (and questioning) if a formal degree provides something essential that cannot be replaced by online education and if so, what it is.

I’ll readily admit I’d never take all the math classes I took for my CS degree on my own online. Ditto for the gen eds (also quite valuable for the most part). But that’s me.... n of 1 lol.

I never had a formal technical education. So I guess I don't know what I'm missing out on.

But you had a formal education. Technical or not is not really relevant for this question. Question is; would you miss sth if all your degrees were online.

To be fair the original question stated “would not hire a person who is online educated in Machine Learning.” So this is what we’re addressing. I’m personally not claiming I didn’t get anything out of formal education. It just isn’t the only path- I’m convinced of that.

Piling on to Jeremy here. http://Fast.ai 's results, my former students from bootcamps getting jobs in data science, and even me (a uni dropout) writing a DL book and creating a framework tell me this gatekeeping is full of BS.
