Sure, but knowledge is the secondary part of what these schools sell and not of value compared to talent. To get in you have to be one of the smartest people in the World (as measured by standardized tests and GPA), have a good disposition, be able to communicate effectively, and have professional references. Further, the 2-3 years spent are in an intensely competitive environment with similar personalities. Talent is always worth 10x more than knowledge because, as you pointed out, knowledge is easy to get. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:215760 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
