Sounds like a good way to separate oneself from a disgusting, greed-driven, and fake environment. Not to mention that for-profit education institutions have zero interest in your skill set—it's your money they want, not your success. I would probably enjoy studying CS in Norway, though.
I could not care less how it “looks”. I never promoted any of my work, regardless of its field, quality or scale—my OCD tells me that good work needs no promotion. But some people started to tell me that this approach might not be very healthy, especially in modern days with the amount of trash being generated every millisecond. So I started to _share_ it with other humans.
