Thanks, Luke!  Americans are autodidacts.  Most of the people who served on the Supreme Court never went to law school; and among those now seated, three have bachelor of law (LLB) and other baccalaureates, not the juris doctorate held by most lawyers. It is famous that Bill Gates and the Steves never earned a degree before launching their companies.  (Wozniak went back after he "retired.")   Of course the downside is that Edison never learned calculus so he could not conveniently conceptualize alternating current while Nicola Tesla shook the Earth.  On my own resume, below "Education" and after "Experience" I have another section for "Additional Education."

Some of my young, freshly graduated engineering colleagues report owing $80,000 to $100,000 in student loan debt. I find that outrageous and horrifying. I know there are better ways to get the credit needed to enter careers as knowledge workers. I hope the idea of massive open online courses (MOOCs) for credit becomes the new normal soon.

A Professor of Finance at the Stern School of Business at NYU is web-casting two courses he is teaching, one in corporate finance and the other in business valuation.

Here is the professor's blogspot.
