> College students don't take classes to learn; they take classes as part of a transaction to earn grades I am really grateful that I was in a position where I was able to go to college to learn. My parents allowed me to live at home rent free for 3 1/2 years while I worked a full time job on 3rd shift. I took 2 classes a semester and I didn't go into any of the schools degree programs. I paid mostly out of pocket and took whatever classes I thought would be useful. I took almost every CS class, a UX class, a few graphic design classes, some business law, project management, and an accounting class. My advisor was always seemed really concerned I wasn't working towards any particular degree. I never looked at my grades and never stressed about passing any exams because they didn't matter to me. All I wanted was to pull as much knowledge as I could out of a class.
