Yeah exactly but I always feel like I'm short of time. Like just a few years more and I'll have to look for a job. Mandatory attendance at boring classes doesn't help much too.
- Hydraulix989 10y agoYou seem like you are really on top of your game though. I'm impressed. It's sad to see so much weight on brand name schools.
- amandavinci 10y agoThanks a lot. I found Paul Graham's essay on the credentials and pedigree quite reassuring. :) http://www.paulgraham.com/credentials.html http://www.paulgraham.com/credentials.html "Admission to the right university can make or break an ambitious young South Korean."
- morganvachon 10y agoIf the classes are boring, it's either because you aren't close to the level of knowledge you should be, or else you're far ahead of the curve. Given what you wrote about your education so far, of course the latter is true. I envy you actually; I never had a head for higher math and programming, my talents lie in hardware hacking and electronics repair. I'd love to learn some proper CS, but my life took a different track before college and now when I try to learn anything beyond bash scripting or simple microcontroller stuff in C, my mind turns to mush.
