Depends; do you get 48 months worth of education in 6 months? I doubt it. A lot of learning also takes time to process, to settle in.

That said, half my 4 year software engineering education was hands-on, figure-it-out-yourself stuff; a year of internships and a ton of group projects.

48 months of education still costs more, even if you get more benefit from it. And if you can't afford the time commitment then it doesn't matter how much benefit you might derive from it as it's not an available option.

Depending on your university, focused education vs scattershot education, this actually sounds about right.
