He calls it the "MIT Challenge (http://www.scotthyoung.com/blog/myprojects/mit-challenge-2/) ."
Scott believes you might learn better without having to go to college for four years.
He spent four years getting a business degree and he still had a longing to learn computer science. But he didn't want to spend four more years of his life in school and accumulate all that debt.
He wanted the education, but not the school.
He has taken a few classes online before and thought, "If you can learn a class, why not an entire degree?"
But when he was done, would anyone hire him?
Listen today to find out.
