I loved my CS degree. It let me deepen my understanding of programming in quite a few ways, introduced me to circuit drawing/embedded devices, AI, robotics, all kind of peripheral areas I would have never had an opportunity to engage with deeply.
That said, there are about 70,000 reasons I can think of why someone would want to do something else for those 4-5 years.
The first job I got out of college also wanted me to quit college and work full-time about 2 years before.. I knew full well I was getting the degree as a hobby.
- H8crilA 3y agoYeah exactly, Master's level degree is almost entirely unnecessary. I've seen lots people drop out past Bachelor's once they figured out that the degree is just a hobby, and a little bit of a status symbol. They wanted to earn instead. This was around 2014.
- 8n4vidtmkvmk 3y agoYep. Got my bachelor's and stopped. Still don't see a reason to go further. Bachelor's is enough for green card and to be hired. Rest is interview skill. If I do go further.. it would be for fun. I did enjoy uni. But maybe not so much for the classes.
