Comment on Denver's gSchool: 6 months and 60 hours per week turns you into a web developerparent

And a fairly sweet deal for the instructors involved. 24 spots at $20,000 a pop = $480,000 split 3 ways for 6 months work, an annualized income of over $300,000.

Assume that other people's economics sound a lot easier from the outside :)

One big consideration is that there'll be a three-month window in between sessions for the instructors to recuperate, revise the curriculum, and recruit a new class. A facility for 24+3, the laptops, administrative help, marketing, design...

If we were each making 300K the first thing I'd do is drop the price. The costs dictated the tuition.

As one of those three instructors, I can assure you that you're leaving out quite a bit there. I will not be making that much money.

True, includes the Mac, and facility usage. And not actually a knock, hey, more power - just a back of the envelope.

Yup. The ol', it's not the miners who make it big but the guys selling them shovels.

Not sure that 300k a year would be considered "making it big" (not in the Bay Area at least.)
