It sounds like you did the on-campus program at GT, so you took time off work to complete it. It's hard to argue with the fact that losing the wages to do that is a lot of missed opportunity.

However.... I think majority of people that take OMSCS (I am in my 2nd semester) and this new OMSA program do so part time while still maintaining their fulltime jobs and families.

Also, why the throwaway?

It strikes me as odd that the parent used a throwaway as well. What are they trying to hide?

Is not another possibility that they'd like to keep face / maintain positive relationships with their network from the school?

Maybe they don't want their salary being public?
