<p>Sakky, if all you want is a credential, then you should go to the University of Phoenix or someplace like that. People who don’t acquire the actual academic knowledge usually get found out pretty quickly during an interview – or later when it turns out that they don’t actually possess the skills to do the job for which they were hired. Or worst case, when they try to advance beyond the internship or entry-level position which they got based on connections. Longterm, deciding you’d rather than have connections than an education is a very risky strategy.</p>
