Even 20 years ago most of the employers didn't care for the degree (it was a sickness of the big and government). But they do care for knowledge...
Learning at college has the advantage of a more strict environment. However these 'Career Certificates' can help those without finances to move forward.
The real problem that it will make HR's work more complicated - and even today they are not shining...
(an other interesting side-effect will be, that those are really bright and hard-working will not be even close to government positions - so your online services will be even worst than today)

Based on content, it qualifies you as a IT "trainee"; I hesitate to use even the term "junior programmer". If anything, it says you stuck it out. (More like a programmer aptitude test).

Well, take a shortcut. From Slashdot:
Quote: those jobs aren't coming back. Give them the tools..."
One such possible job he offered as an example? Computer programming. "Six months, you're going to become a computer coder. We'll pay for it.... we need to give them a lifeline to what's the next chapter."
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

If you need to use the AC in November, you're in a warmer (and perhaps safer) environment than many others. My suggestion to your daughter would be to wear a mask when you leave the house, avoid crowds, observe social distancing, wash your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds (2 verses of Happy Birthday To You) and try not to touch your face, eyes and nose.
Good health to you and your family!

Also, carry a flamethrower at all times.
If anyone around you isn't wearing a mask, or looks like they are going to sneeze - let them have it!

Around here, with all the dried leaves blowing around and in piles, a flame thrower is just a silly solution. We just hold there fully submerged in a bucket of bleach until they stop . . . sneezing.

Thanks Ravi. Yes, we are in central Florida where the AC still works on and off in mid-November. My daughter works in a local grocery store and she must wear a mask all day at work. However, wearing a mask in the house is inconvenient. 
I am not wrong. I am just different!

I was gonna point out that humor is all about timing, and that The Mandalorian wasn't exactly topical these days and that most people have moved on and have all but forgotten about it. But then, what I learned through this post is that the second season has, in fact, just started.
Sardonic comment retracted.
Now I need an excuse to continue watching the first season. I never bothered going on after 4 episodes.

Well for me the timing was mostly about discovering the song as such.
And having the feeling that some people here might appreciate it.
I'm not much for timing to be honest. I'm actually quite lousy at it to be honest.

Interesting, it's very definitely a parody, and I thought parodies were exempt from copyright.

It's not really YouTube. There is a Rick Beato video that pretty much explains it all. He knows what he's talking about. He's a former producer and recently testified to Congress just how stupid this can be. He's had any number of his own videos blocked by these companies.
The various artist hire companies to scour YouTube looking for any copyright violations. Most of these people are just a little overzealous and tend to flag videos with even 10 seconds of a song. Some, like the Beatles, will not even allow people to play a song on their own instrument. So no unlicensed covers, etc.

Reminds me of this Norwegian soccer player, Frank Strandli, who spent a year as a professional player in England. After returning home he could tell that in England you can get some great beer, called "pint".
