Funny thing is that courses at big-name schools are taught by grad students and you pay a fortune for them. You can take the same course at a community college for far less money and have a professional or a phd for a teacher. Education is a personal thing and depends upon what you want from it and what you are willing to put into it. The rest is decoration.

Jobs are another story, most jobs are bought in one way or another, have you paid your dues?
