Average tuition for a year at a US private college is $35k. Nobody should pay that. Offering $140k for 1 year of regular time with any one of the best minds in your field of choice would be a strictly better use of your resources (and probably theirs, if they'd otherwise teach).

I understand what you did can work for some people (it would have worked for me) but don’t understand how it scales.
It doesn’t. Trade schools & bootcamps are scalable. Drop occupational licensing where it doesn’t directly protect public safety. In general, create a more competitive business environment — companies that prioritize the proxies for merit over actual merit will not do well.

Merit is a proxy itself, for future productivity. Past productivity is a proxy for future productivity. I agree with most of what you say (esp occupational licensing) but proxies are structurally necessary imho

Offline bootcamps are having serious problems sustaining themselves. Lambda School is doing okay, though, which I hope continues because I want industry experts to consider doing online/facetime type teaching to small classes. That seems like a sensible direction for higher ed
