I know I'm appreciating the education I'm getting at school, but I'm equally appreciating all the time I'm not wasting on useless general ed or stuff I already know but didn't have a piece of paper to prove knowing. And I guarantee it's the same at any brick-and-mortar school (that some people are taking some classes for the sake of passing what they have to have, more than for the sake of learning the material).
I'd rather spend the bulk of my actual focused learning efforts on things I have decided are important to learn.
I would like everyone who gets a degree from one of the Big3 to really do the work so that my degree isn't considered second rate. I suspect hiring managers would expect that, too.
