I am in the last year of my master degree and I have been working for 7 years. The pressure from both work and studies have left deep scars in my body and soul.

- rm_-rf_slash 7y agoThis attempt on my education has left me scarred and deformed...but my resolve...actually that’s pretty worn down too. I don’t think there’s enough discussion in spaces like this on how hard it is to continue education while working full time. Working full time is already hard enough. Life is hard enough. We in tech like to pretend that ours is the most meritocratic of industries, but we also contend with job postings that wouldn’t dare a second glance at a candidate without an advanced degree next to their name. I just wanted a skill set that couldn’t be as easily outsourced or replaced by H1-Bs so I could make art with A.I. Shit’s crushing.
