I'd go as far as saying that most formal CS degrees are often useless. FOUR years, and new grads often still can't code.

I've met some 3-4 year students in "Cybersecurity" programs that couldn't cogently explain the difference between private/public keys.

Think about that.

Think about this: those same students could do a nanodegree since there are for requirements to signing up for one.
