>>But Computer Science is not Liberal Arts. I think people major in that figuring they want to get a job (something we thought was a vulgar goal in the 60s <s> )

Agreed, Charles.
I was fortunate to be hired right of college (liberal arts) by a large company that sent me to a fulltime 8 week programming school run by IBM.
Along with some of my colleagues I went from a dead stop to being able to produce a fairly decent commercial mainframe program in that 8 weeks.
We really lucked out. Our lead instructor, Ted Climis, went on to head all software development at IBM, so we had a chance to spend 8 weeks with a superstar.
Ted was a tough taskmaster. A third of the group flunked out after 4 weeks.
As it turned out, the liberal arts grads did better than the math, science and business majors in the group, but that was probably just the way things turned out. It could just as easily have gone the other way.
Since then, I've rarely spent more than a month or two learning enough of a new language to get going.
I can see a need for mentoring, though. Someone to spend a few hours with me just to get past the roadblocks that inevitably pop up.
I've used Pluralsight several times and had good results, but I personally prefer E-books on my Kindle fire.

I can't imagine spending 4 years learning this stuff.
