I'm studying software engineering and also working as a junior web developer. Realistically speaking I'd have to quit my job to be able to finish my school. The problem is, I view school as a waste of time. Teachers don't know about SQL injection and don't teach unit testing. I learn more efficiently on my own. It's scary how big gaps there'd be in my knowledge if I relied only on the stuff school taught me. The reason I applied to a developer position in the first place was boredom in school(and financial stress). At work I've been learning a lot more and IMO worked on more interesting projects than most of my class mates at their internships.
It's school or work for me but I fear that lacking a bachelor's degree means I can't advance to more challenging programming positions or that nobody would hire me outside of my current company.
Nothing would stop me from starting my own business tho.
