The average graduation time for my comp sci undergrad in the mid 2000’s in Slovenia was 7.5 years. Because most people got jobs and forgot to graduate.
Personally I dropped out when schoolwork started getting in the way of freelancing for US companies. I remember a moment when my professor said “You know if you don’t get these grades up, you’ll have a hard time finding a job” and I thought “But I already have a job … sitting here talking to you is costing me billable hours”
Don’t get me wrong, I loved studying comp sci and learned a lot. Even use that knowledge regularly. Just didn’t get the paper.
