Maybe they could&#x27;ve focussed on making the credentials valuable (maybe they did and it didn&#x27;t work). AFAIK, if you told an employer you have a &quot;nanodegree&quot; in something or other, its glossed over.<p>Usually, you have to back it up with real-world projects. In which case why would I pay for the degree, I should just go out and build something with the stuff I learn for free.
