i agree that what i am proposing does not require a 4-year degree. i don't think that most undergraduates should spend four years in school.

"no one respects a vocational education" is cargo cult thinking. elite universities don't write world-changing software, educated, motivated people do.

i come not to butcher academia. as one of the least reformable institutions in our society, i'm pretty much indifferent to academia.

Mosaic, which was the precursor to Netscape and IE, came from a project at NCSA at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Oh, an industry supremacist.

Uh, no. Did you even read the post?

You seem to quite definitely be stating a belief that industry is more valuable to society than academia.
