Thanks brudgers. What I take from this is that you will learn a lot more in a job which I know and totally agree on. Thus if you can get such job, for example in a junior role where it is expected that you don't know everything and will have to learn a lot, take it. Meanwhile, a MOOC won't hurt but it's not the same as an actual job, just like school.

Mooc's are easier to blow off than school. And less structured. And don't provide a widely recognized credentials.

I'll go further than I did before. If there's something interesting, just start learning it now: graduated or not, offered in a MOOC or not, working a job or getting a grad degreee. It doesn't matter.
