I can only guess he is asking why it is expensive to get the degrees, and that’s a fair point.
I’m old enough now to know I could be a Dr. Something with my knowledge and experience but would just have to put in massive time to get it recognized. Since I can’t gain much* with that, screw it.
*aside from social bragging rights and rl title which is about worth as much as in games (I am against titles how did you guess? - not against diplomas and certificates, mind.)
Oh and before I forget: learning - depending on field - can be done by hands on and experiencing or simply pondering yourself, that’s free too. Too few people do that and only rely on preprocessed knowledge.
Valve made me stop giving a shit about college when someone (I cant remember if it was Vince or Gabe) said they are much more likely to hire someone who has self taught themselves and made something to show for it than a college grad with nothing to show but a degree.
This about a thousand times.
