You're 19 - have you been working and getting paid for it for 1.5 years, or did you just start programming 1.5 years ago? If it's the latter, that's not experience.
Where do you live and what's the cost of a degree there?
Why software engineering and not computer science?
I really think it's worth it given that you're only 19 - you'll learn a lot, it will open many doors (especially if you go to a good university), and you'll get a chance to grow up a bit in your early 20s in an environment that you can't experience otherwise.
- 9c666b4c 5y agoNo, so I basically did a sort of long bootcamp to learn C and C++. I have never worked in a company as a developer. If I were to pursue a degree I would probably do it in Canada given I would like to get the permanent residency there. Your latter point is definitely fair. The thing which makes me reconsider the university choice is the fact that my goal is to become a crypto developer (smart contract engineer) and I feel like university won't help much in that area. And 5 years is a lot of time which I could use to build a portfolio of projects in the crypto world. I may definitely be wrong here, though.
- warrenm 5y ago>And 5 years is a lot of time which I could use to build a portfolio of projects in the crypto world Regardless of anyone's particular opinions of the value of "the crypto world", why do you think this is an either/or choice? Who says you can't enroll in a degree program and build a portfolio of anything?
