I don't have enough time with work to learn PHP by myself (I can edit the hell out of PHP just can't make scripts from scratch) so I just want to learn through a professor. Also I want the piece of paper and the college I'm planning on attending (Rasmussen) has 95% in field career placement. I already have plenty of web development knowledge, I just need that damn piece of paper to prove it. That’s why I’m going.

After the first "what the hell is going on" it made much more sense to just search the web for books, online trainings, forums etc. Din't finish it tho. p.s. was working in IT as a developer for 15 years and no-one, not once, ever asked why didn't I have a degree.

College taught me ZERO. No recruiter is looking for what I have. NONE IN ANY OF THE USA much less Puerto Rico where I live. I've sent 1000's of resumes and I have NEVER seen results. If college has given me ZERO JOBS and ZERO VALUE then college is WORTHLESS. And if it isn't tell me where else to send a resume and who wants someone who isn't a SUPERGOD with 20 YEARS of the most SUPERGRANDIOSE experience!! I would NOT reccomend college. Sorry. A ticket to a world of nothingness! Somebody better give me some serious PROOF to the contrary. I used to be positive but the world of the ultrarich killed every dream.
