My son paid for a "computer technicians" course in Utah. They ripped

Over the past year or so, I've interviewed several people with recent CS
degrees. They did not get their money's worth. We are not looking for
skilled programmers with impressive resumes, just entry level programmers
with enough background to not require extensive handholding. The two hires
in that time did not have degrees.
