People are doing short certifications for security and immediately earning more than people who racked up $100K debts over 4 year computer science degrees. Everything you need to work in IT (except actual science and engineering roles) can be learned through the Internet and experience, for free. There's no value in a university debt for such.
Except, of course, the companies like my own still require a 4 year degree to get hired. It doesn't matter what the degree is in, you just need to have one. I've asked HR if we can get rid of the requirement and have been told no. Sigh.
