oh you must be joking, i'm graduating from top1 polish university and even the professors are saying the quality of education is piss poor -but well whan can you expect when the TA's are getting paid around 1500 zloty (500$) and the professors are grabbing ~4000zloty (a bit more than 1000$). But there are parts in which you are right - the graduation rate is 30% and the quality of education in paid unis is even worse. And no we're not sought after in the country because we tend to leave it.
- Paul_S 12y agoThe problem with leaving the country is that your very good degree is now almost worthless. I got mine (from a good technical uni) issued in English, I even wrote my thesis in English. Not a single employer wanted to look at it. Yet, I earn the same as my colleague with a PhD from a local uni. Turns out no one cares about degrees in software engineering. Maybe it's different in your industry.
- ceejayoz 12y agoSoftware engineering is probably one of the specialties better suited for an apprenticeship-style program rather than a degree-based one.
- gambiting 12y agoYeah. I got my job in the games industry as an intern programmer before even graduating. When I finally did graduate, they were like "oh , cool", and that's it. I guess that even if I dropped out of uni they wouldn't care - I was doing my job and that's what was important.
- doctorKrieger 12y agoNah i'm in Computer Science aswell, although i'm planning to hit data science instead of software engineering. As for the degree i'm mostly doing it in case i'd like to go and do a PhD.
