      We were skeptical of bootcamps at first. Now I think they should exist for every subject. 3 month sabbaticals for intense learning = future.

      Imagine going to a place where you can take any classes you want in any subject you want. 100% of your time can be spent studying, a bit of work, w/places for debating fellow students and teachers. I want to call it “college”

      I used the word sabbatical purposefully to suggest a version of college should exist for people who are already working. Taking four years off for a degree usually isn't an option for them. If you have ideas for how that could work, it'd perhaps be more productive than snark.

      Ohhhh this makes it even worse. I’m not sure I taught even one student who didn’t have a job when at UWF. Close to half worked full time. I get wanting intensive classes - those are awesome. But UWF had partial semesters! UNC has Maymester! Most colleges have night/online/wkend.

      The difficulty is not the program it's being able to swing the expenses. Most people who do this either have to save up for a while to do it or incur debt because of the time out of work. what we need arr employers who are willing to support employees to do this.

          Replying to @harjtaggar @harjeet and

          "What we need [are] employers who are willing to support employees to do this." Federal subsidies, grants, and scholarships could help. Education reform, socialization of education, and generally making education a cultural priority in the US would be better but less realistic.

          What would be great is if employers started viewing this as a benefit, like health insurance or 401k matching, they offer offer to improve their ability to hire and retain people.

          Support from employers would be great. For example, at the U of West Florida, there is a state employee tuition waiver program -- https://uwf.edu/offices/registrar/tuition--fees/state-employee-tuition-waiver/ …. Still problematic in terms of time. If you're working 9 to 5, you're stuck with night or online courses.

          Faculty at UWF can apply for up to 2 courses per semester, for themselves or dependents. Tuition for senior citizens for a class is free as well.
