I agree with you that experience is a better educator, but I have just 

completed an ASP class in the same graduate program that I mentioned prior 

and that sad thing is that many of the students are permitted into the class 

without any prereq's.  Also, there are a number of tech schools where I am 

located that offer scripting courses every other month.  Many of the 

students are duped into believing that once the course is over they know 

ASP, XML..etc, but it's not so.  I'm not saying that it's fair, but I have 

heard of many cases recently where the paper won out over the degree because 

the employer figured that anyone disciplined enough to complete a degree 

would be just as disciplined in the work place (that ain't always the case 

either).
