My employer does... many of our best candidates come in as interns and outperform experienced consultants, but snotty tech companies won’t touch them because they are not from the right schools.
Schools are overrated in tech industry, at this point in time, you would do much better if you just spend your time learning and trying things on your pace and time rather than wasting on spending in a school.
I agree. One of the best network engineers that I’ve met had an AS in Welding Technology.
