As an MIT alumnus, a starting salary of $250K is definitely not worth it. However, MIT teaches it's students how to think through complex problems and solve them. These are skills that are worth a lot in today's society.

That's what Master's programs are for. And most people do those while working full-time.

I did a couple of X-MIT online classes about advanced quantum mechanics.
In my experience, they suffer the same weakness as many of the other more prestigious US courses:
There is too much emphasis on the deep dive, something you should be doing in your spare time already, and very little on co-operation and navigating the actual scientific field.
Going to MIT in itself won't make you a great scientist, but it will give the the means to sell yourself at a higher price point, making it easier to procure a budget.
Taking a 100K loan and coming to Europe to study instead, will make you a more balanced scientist, but you will need to add at least one impressive internship to make it worth your while.
Pick your poison.

Actually I was looking up "quine" using the CP "search engine" (triangle-shaped wheel) and had such a conniption fit over getting returns of cp pages that did not contain my search term that I was "debugging" the thing to see if I could MAKE IT FAIL!

Of course he does, in normal years.
Or are you saying he doesn't exist? Because we all know he does really.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

I'm not even 100% convinced that I exist, although if nothing else it's a pretty compelling illusion.
