Fast Track to a CS Degree?
kyrex asks: "it's been 5
years since I've been working in the tech industry and I've make
great progress. My salary has grown by an annual rate of about 50%
and I'm currently working as a consultant in a leading consulting
firm. But not having received any formal education in Computer
Science, and therefore having no degree will be a problem for
further progress. I've considered many options but they all take
time: at least 3 years. I've been programming since I was 12
(I'm currently 24) and have read hundreds of CS books. I think that I
can easily complete a CS degree in 1 year. I want to know if there
are universities/institutions out there that offers computer
professionals like me a fast track to a CS degree that will be
recognised as such by other universities (so that I can continue
with a MSc afterwards)"
50% a year for five years? So... let's say he started out at 40K... he's making well over 200K now? Jeezus, just how far does this guy wanna advance???
Skivvy Niner? Email me!
HEY! Look left just ONE MORE TIME!
...are now scrambling to get one! Ha!
Wait 'til you find out that you'll need to know REAL SUBJECTS like MATH and PHYSICS to get a degree.
You can't just fake your way through life anymore by cutting/pasting other people's Perl scripts.
See folks? You too can get a degree and be an insufferable dickhead to other people!

That's the reason it's called a "BS" degree :)
Well that's just shows how much you know! I've been working at the local hospital for five years now (started practising when I was 12) and I've saved so many lives that I'm an invaluable member of staff. Next year I hope to complete my med degree in 9 months and then open my own surgery.
How we know is more important than what we know.

Get your degree in 3 easy payments of 39.95 at Krock University, the only unofficially accredited post-education institution for the blind and meager. Act now, and we'll throw in an honorary mention in the Dean's list for an extra 9.95$
(KU is no way affiliated with KMart).
"The biggest problem in the first case is going to be dependancies -- CS 302 requires CS 301, CS 303 requires CS 302, etc."
apt-get install cs_degree

Get a College Degree in Days!
All you need to do is get a hotmail account- I get offers for a free college degree several times a day.
when installing cs_degree you have to be sure you've removed the free_time modules or the cs_degree will not finish installing for years.
alternately, you can remove the sleep module from the kernel and keep some free time, but this has been known to cause unstable operation if sleep is completely and permanently removed (you might get away with using almost_no_sleep instead of the full sleep module.)
FreeBSD for the impatient.
Some of the courses that you'll take when you go back to school won't be directly relevant to programming, or even CS. You might learn enough English, though, that you won't write it's been 5 years since I've been working in the tech industry when you mean I've been working in the tech industry for 5 years.

I usually never respond to spam, but this was an offer I couldn't refuse. I am now accredited (through a major Somalia university) as "Grand Wizard of Windows XP Activation". My family was so happy that I finally quit that gas station.
