I was a resident of New Orleans during Katrina and it was then I realized I needed to be more marketable. I went back to school and got my Bachelors in Computer Science.
Without it, I would not have the position I have now. It was a struggle but I am more pleased with the results than you can imagine.
- Buttons840 8y agoOne of my worries about going back to school is that I'll return to the PHP web development class where they were teaching about what GET and POST requests are. I've been a web developer for 10 years, and such a class really feels like a waste of time.

- Caillebotte 8y agoIn my CS education, very very little of what I learned was directly applicable to the outside world. My school did not offer classes teaching languages and frameworks. That was left up to us in our free time. Much of what I did learn in school was mostly the math and theories of CS, and I am so glad that I have that experience. I believe it sets you apart and opens far more doors than many realize.
