Cut-price education

I am having trouble making sense of this one "Uni cheats outsource to India"

Students who want to learn how to be computer programmers have discovered that programming can be done cheaply in India. As a result, these students are paying Indians to do their programming assignments.
If I found out that my current studies would give me skills of so little value, I would quit the course. What would you do?
