In which professions is it paid? Teachers / dentists I know have had to pay for their own education.
Isn't the level of personal commitment subjective though? What would your solution be?
I think it's hard for programming because there's such a diverse array of programmers (university educated based on data structures / algorithms vs self-taught that might not know those things). My recent interviews with Amazon tested my core CS knowledge but nothing like frameworks or anything. I suspect those things would matter more at startups / web shops (where I used to work).
