If anyone is interested, courses from Ivy League universities you can take online at your own pace, and even receive credit for them.

You have seen our discussions on college, right?
That said, I'll probably look, but will be surprised if I find anything useful to me in there.

There's tons of stuff.
As an example, I'm going through a PHP book to learn how to program... nothing formal or really teaching/explaining actual programming concepts. (at least not more than a mile high overview)
So... looking around, I found these courses, which look like they would do a hell of a lot more for me than a PHP programming book:

And yes, I've seen them... If you have taken them to mean: "Never go to college, college courses are never beneficial", then you need to reevaluate what was said.

Also, keep in mind I'm doing this as a hobby... just as anyone would go golfing in their spare time, I'd take a free college course from Harvard or MIT to help boost me with a hobby... Some are credit-eligible

That's exactly what I'd expect. There will be some useful stuff in there depending on what you're looking for, but actually going after a degree is what many of us question.

Thinking we need to find some extra MSP/Odd Job man dotted around to cover simple tasks like running cable, plugging in kit and basic network trouble shooting.
As I don't fancy a 5hr drive to find a loose network cable in a PC

I'm forgetting to be specific enough I think, a degree in IT is where the value is questioned. While degrees in business management and other areas they do a good job with.
