00:00:00,543 --> 00:00:01,710
SPEAKER: I think it depends.

3
00:00:01,710 --> 00:00:04,110
If you are formally
trained software engineer,

4
00:00:04,110 --> 00:00:06,840
you studied software
engineering or computer science,

5
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:09,150
and then, therefore, have
taken courses like CS50,

6
00:00:09,150 --> 00:00:12,530
already probably the returns wouldn't
be as academically high for you.

7
00:00:12,530 --> 00:00:14,530
Although you might enjoy
doing the problem sets,

8
00:00:14,530 --> 00:00:16,470
it's just solving some fun problems.

9
00:00:16,470 --> 00:00:19,800
If though you're more self-taught and
have sort of learned along the way,

10
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,380
you might find that a
class like CS50 helps fill

11
00:00:22,380 --> 00:00:24,060
in some of the gaps in your knowledge.

12
00:00:24,060 --> 00:00:28,350
And helps you understand more,
formally, how some of the features

13
00:00:28,350 --> 00:00:32,750
you take for granted in languages
actually work underneath the hood.

00:00:32,750 --> 00:00:37,000
