The payoff of 1 year at a reasonably good California State university is $0. You have to attend for 4 years and spend $32k in order to get a degree / payoff. Lambda school is saving you $2k and 3 years of time. (and btw I have no affiliation to lambda school)

Some college produces better outcomes than no college. I bet most people here that have "no degree" do have "some college" under their belt.

A year of college is enough to get an internship, and an internship is enough to get a job in many cases.

If you're enough of a go-getter to turn 1 year of first year gen-eds into a high paying job you probably don't need school.
