like i said i cant speak for lambda school, but at my bootcamp the TAs were the best of us, not the "ones who can't find a job". and at my (fairly prestigious, hopefully not non-legit) university, TAs were very often upperclassmen and sometimes sophomores that -just- completed the previous class.

> TAs in colleges are graduate students. They aren't undergraduates who can't find a job.

So they're... graduates who can't find a job? I'm not sure you're making the point you're trying to make here.
