Been there, done that.
But if you're seriously considering dropping out, good luck with finding a job in the sort of competitive market you're in. With more than a thousand applications per job listing, the recruiters will first cut out the non-degreed/non-engineers. Then you're looking at a select few (like Zoho) who may take you in for a marked down pay which gets you no where.
Or you can try to make it on your own, put in several man hours of effort into an idea and push it to market. If you do manage to get a release out, know that your odds of success have improved from nothing to one in a hundred.
Or you could simply suck it up, maintain a minimal profile at college necessary to get your degree, and work the nights on getting a real education. Then you're in a (IMO) far better position, life-wise.
Stop cribbing about something you have little control over, and focus on doing what you can to improve things for yourself, and if you see fit, for others.
- akarambir 15y agoI do and I've tried various methods to be more productive about my learning and projects. Still the college stuff really pisses me off.
- geekam 15y agoI think frustration about college can be good as well. I have always used that frustration to put my time to better learning and projects. Each time you encounter those problems, think how can you make things better. Start making things better for yourself, like start your own group for similar minded folks in your college/school. Maybe you will arrive at solutions that may help build better educational resources for people who actually want to learn and not just clear exams.
