MOOC's are prevalent in today's media and certainly offer significant volume of quality content in certain fields (some computer science disciplines). As an employer / manager, would you hire someone who was self taught using courses available through a MOOC?<p>If your answer is no, what is the main reason you would not be willing to hire them over a comparable person with a traditional bachelors degree?
I would hire anyone regardless of the source of their training as long as they are capable of demonstrating proficiency, a firm grasp on the core concepts and a willingness and determination to learn.
