I finished my bachelors this year, nearly twenty years after I started. I likewise suffered a bit of inferiority anxiety related to not having one. After I shared my accomplishment I learned quite a few people in my organization didn’t hold such a degree (much to my surprise).
Congrats on pursuing it. It’s a worthy goal. I wish you luck.
- tombert 6y agoThat's so cool! If you don't mind me asking, was the inferiority anxiety the primary driver for finishing, or was it for something work-related?
- sircastor 6y agoI had a few goals behind completing my degree. The first was that I felt like I was missing some CS theory that would help me in my programming. Second, It was important to me that I finish this difficult thing that I'd started a long time ago. And yes, there was some amount of anxiety that I didn't measure up to my peers. The first did come true as I moved through some of my coursework. Especially in my digital logic and final project courses where I was working very low level. The anxiety thing started to go away somewhere in the middle as I realized that no amount of signaling was going to make me feel better, because there's always something more to learn and the pool of knowledge is both wide and deep.
