Complete my CS Degree

to software engineering.. screw computer science

I don’t have a good job yet, but I’m glad I’ve finished my degree. I no longer have to pay tuition!

I still have to pay my student loan, but the size of the payments is much smaller than that of the tuition.

I think having a degree is definitely worth it. I don’t use much of what I learned in CS classes, but hey, It helps me out sometimes. CS is more about algorithms and efficient programming, and not what I expected. I guess I wanted something like MIS or CIS.

Not everyone’s experience is going to be like this, but for me it was fairly worthless. Learning on your own is much more effective. (Of course, it’s also important that you have a community or at least some friends.) But on the whole I would be a much better programmer if I had spent that time and money teaching myself.

It was a great experience and I am still using what I learned.
