  • Started college at 2020 January. Information technology. I did well during the time I was there but whole covid thing just made me hate my school and like I needed change.

    We were going back and forth remote and in person classes, both of which were really bad in terms of quality of the teaching and I felt like if I am mostly learning from external sources and teaching sucks.

    I refused to attend in person classes due to covid risks despite it being kind of mandated so I managed to negotiate that I just study on my own and take the exams. And my grades didn't even get worse.

    I'm not the type of person to keep doing something I feel like is useless for a paper that might give me slight advantage for getting a job. Education itself is free in my country but I just hated getting more and more student debt to cover other my living costs.

    I decided "fuck this I'm just gonna get a IT job and teach myself and that's what I did. I wouldn't say that I'm at my dream job now but I feel confident I am able to progress on this career just fine despite dropping out.

    • Truly, what they care a lot more about in the industry is IT certs over a diploma so you're doing just as well as you would have if you graduated anyway.
