Have you heard of Lambda?

And I don't mean the fraternity in Revenge of the Nerds.

Check this out....you learn to become a software engineer and it's free until you get a job after graduation and then you pay them a cut of your salary with a cap of $40K over a few years.

Thus, the risk is on them to educate you properly. It's not easy to get into, but it shouldn't be if they are taking all the risk.

If this takes off, and it is already, this will be a major kick in the nuts to the colleges. I applaud them for doing this. They have major $$ backers behind this, Peter Thiel, Google Ventures, etc.
