Considering learning java in college. Open if you did.

funny , which college prepare students for industry...the nature of lessons is not to prepare students for industry ...I passed all these lessons...I am insulting academic lessons but am perusing it because I have to...

example in Australia:

ACS says
you are qualified
1-if you have diploma + 8 years experience work
2-you have bachelor + 6 years experience
3-you have vendor certificate(like Microsofrt,SISCO) + 6 years experince
4- you have Australia certificate (no work experience)

if you want to get PR from Mr kangaroo not waste your time in the college to learn some accademic lessons...you can work + Microsoft certificate..less time and money consuming...stucking at bachelor entrance exams and master..reading history books

Well, it seems what I asked for in my previous post is already in place in Australia. And it seems to be working. Not just anybody can call themselves programmer and start wreaking havoc. They're forced to demonstrate that they meet a minimum professional standard. Great!

My words seem to be wasted on you but a university education does indeed prepare you for a carreer in industry. But I agree, if your aim for Code Monkey you probably won't need one.
