    This is absurd... Not to make this sound wrong, the work you've done is amazing. But at this rate the only thing you'll gain from the degree at MIT is the certificate. No wonder these universities rank so high, when all there students are vastly overqualified.

      An ABET accredited degree that's the foot in the door for 99% of engineering roles? A chance to grow your professional network and do co-ops/internships and secure a role right out the door? Opportunities for higher education? Yeah, you need school for that. You've made a pretty shallow assessment, there.

      The maker space has made these types of projects very accessible. There are still technologies that are difficult or expensive to get into, and that's where a university can help. For example, semiconductor fabrication requires a dedicated lab, and not something you can make at home. If you want to sell a product, you don't want to sell something that lots of other people can make. And your marketability is limited if all you know is maker space stuff and not any industry grade or cutting edge technologies.

    You don’t need college bro. Straight to research or industry. Send this to Tesla honestly and you’ll be up 700k in 4 years vs -100K at mIt

      What in the holy name of crach head are you talking about, no company even looks at anyone with a degree, readgless what daddy musk says all the engineering at space x and tesla have degrees. And no, he wouldnt even be close up 700k in wages in 4 years, maybe close to 300, MAYBE at a push.
