    I’m a software engineer. There’s people on my team that went to Yale for computer science. There’s also people on my team that took a six month coding boot camp. They’re both great at their jobs.

      Specifics of software engieneering. Doesn’t work with civil engieneering, electrical engieneering and many other fields.

        You can’t learn those things online or in books?

            It’s bullshit and we both know it. Don’t pretend that following an existing protocol for building bridges safely is so hard and requires education that I can’t get in 6 months.

            It’s not like engineers are allowed to do whatever they want, they have rules to follow, none of which will be told to them in university because universities are worthless.

              And this is why I said you can’t learn civil engieneering in six months.

                I don’t need 6 months.
