I explored their website which appears to be just one, very long page. If I'm understanding this correctly, they only offer one major which is "Data Analytics + Business Intelligence."

Then I scrolled down the FAQ section and saw a question that asks, "what specific skill sets will I learn as part of this program" and the answer is this:

MissionU focuses on teaching you relevant hard and soft skills needed to thrive in any 21st century career. Some of the hard skills include business writing, excel modeling, powerpoint and keynote, public speaking, regression analysis, and SQL. Soft skills include persuasive communication, giving and receiving feedback, time management, critical problem solving and team dynamics.

I just can't help but think, DAFUQ? This is all shit you can learn by reading a few books at a library or by watching YouTube tutorials. The rest of this shit such as "giving and receiving feedback" and "time management" is just shit you learn as you grow up. Do I really want to give up 15% of my salary just so I can learn how to use Excel and Powerpoint? (Which I learned while in High School anyway).

I was a fan until this D:

How long did it take for your book to publish?

The Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado Springs, CO lets you feed their giraffes. You can pet them and feed them all you want.

I know their Brand Ambassadors and Recruiters are paid by commission only and get 1099's. But are they really using 1099 contractors for their corporate operations? Like HR reps, software engineers, etc. I tried Googling it myself but it's really hard to find any credible info since the internet is flooded with ads for Driver's. Even job search websites are flood with them.
