[quote=Anonymous]It was funny to me as a Stanford and Chicago law alum, but I've begun to see some real value to certificate programs for upskilling. I actually find some of the programs to be impressive if they are tied to concrete skills like natural language processing, linguistics, or something where an in-depth skill set is needed but a master's degree isn't (health care compliance for example - no MBA program teaches the ins and outs of billing but it's a real skill one needs for some jobs).

I guess I am saying it is job specific. Also, I'm not a snob about education. I went to school with idiots and the overwhelming bulk of people who were either connected in industry due to the lottery of birth (i.e. their families) or were serious hustlers. People who worked retail or had random jobs in high school didn't get into Stanford for example. Kids were innovative hustlers or their parents had the cash, access, or power (sometimes all) to differentiate themselves from the other thousands who all had good grades, perfect scores, STEM prizes, etc. [/quote]
