Just learn Ruby or Java and make $80k with no college. Americans need to break free of the LIES of Big Education.

YEP...what YOU said....

Or NOT pay for it by going the unconventional route: download the bootleg Lynda videos or Youtube. One of our graphic designer kids here in Hollywood did just that. His reply is “paying for an education is for suckers”.

Any recommendations on starting with ruby?

I am telling my kids the same thing

YOu can learn C# almost on your own, and with a couple of years experiecne doing it you can EASILY get $80K.

Go to college for computer science and learn theory and computer systems engineering and you can go up to 100-150K

I make more than that because I ALSO went to college for physics so when they ask me to program an accelerometer or thermal calibration software program I understand the physics involved.

But 80K is a darn good salary

I have found that a lot of IT people (and programmers are part of that) are self-taught.
