With the rest of summer and winter/spring breaks, you have maybe 8 more months of school. Just finish! You can spend 20 hours/week on ChemE classes and spend the rest of your time freelancing or studying CS. Take advantage of your school's resources and take some CS classes to round out your SW engineering knowledge (algorithms, data structures, theory, software engineering, etc).
- manglav 14y agoOne thing I'm scared of is that I probably won't have an opportunity to go to San Francisco for a long time if I finish my degree. Assuming I have a job offer, it will be very tough to say no and move to SF at that point versus now. Does that make sense? Also, financially, App Academy will be less than tuition + board, and I could be supporting myself by January, which is a huge goal of mine. I have taken a couple of CS classes already on OpenCourseWare, and will certainly be taking more. If I go to App Academy, I will certainly finish my degree, just not for 2-3 years.
