Interesting anecdote: at a devbootcamp event, I ran into two high school graduates who skipped a traditional bachelor's in favor of three months of intensive web development training followed by a year of unpaid internships. They evaluated this as considerably less expensive than a university education while providing a comparable level of experience.

I'm not sure I agree, but it's interesting that very young people and their families are beginning to question the established educational model in such a bold fashion.
