But he said $1200 a year for 4 years as an example of something he would sign up for immediately. $40K is 10x that number.

Somewhere between immediately@5k and never@150k is room for maybe@40k. Is it worth $330/mo for ten years? Depends on the career, but quite likely!

That depends A LOT on the person though. Some people are really better off learning on their own, and to them that's $330/mo for a piece of paper that says they're cool, while others may actually need that in order to learn effectively.
