You just went to the wrong school. A small local 2 year cheap college here is exactly the opposite experience. Students come back and visit after they leave and get jobs and tell us how valuable just 2 years were. There are ton of shit schools and a few great ones for CS.

Maybe, but not everyone is so lucky to have the same access opportunity. Nevertheless, I bet that those students could get the same contents from the Internet for free. I am not talking about college credential here. You will be punished by society and stay jobless if you don't get credential, but the knowledge is something else.

But there s maybe something to say about the fundamental basics you got + the ability to learn quickly you simply need the college to put you through, that a gig as a waiter while binging youtube may not prepare you for ?

To say simply, maybe you d see problems if you went to any rando in the street: "binge youtube and you too can whisper to electronics" ?
