Well, im a computer science undergrad and ive been studying image processing since i began and i have some really good idea that would help organize the web(including videos, something that youtube sucks at) but i dont have enoght time to implement and i think i can make some big money with that. College is time consuming, i have to attend like 5 hours a day and still have tests that takes 4 whole weeks in a semester. And the teachers are usually so fucking retarded, they think they are good because the have a phd with some stupid thesis that didnt do shit. They ARE NOT RICH AND SMART EITHER, so why do i have to learn how to make a living from someone that isnt good at it? I love the web, i develop websites since i was 10, ive seen the web change from cgi/perl to php and now to rails/java. I have also made some money(i pay college on my own) and i can easily make a living if i quit, but i wont have the fucking paper saying that i have a degree and my parents think that a man without a degree is nothing. Well, the question is as the thread title says, would you quit? I'm sorry if i made any english mistakes, its not my mother tongue.
Well since your already in school i would say no don't quit as it's a waste of money first off and if your looking for a job and not working for yourself then you'll need some form of qualifications. You'll need both work experience and school experience.
I am also computer science graduate, I suggest you to go to collage and make it fun. this life will never come back.
I already quit (personal reasons), but yeah, like jagged said, since you're already in school - don't quit.
I already quit college because I have completed my study, but really want if i can go college again because those were the days which i cant forget.
If you don't want to get a Job (and hence, be "settled"), you can quit the college. But hey, for your parents' sake, get the degree, I am also not a fan of studying my core subject, but would finish college to keep my ignorant parents happy ("a man without degree is Nothing" type of thinking they have, too).
me in final yr of engg.....dint attend 1st month of this semester thinking to quit college....but again back to pavilion....will do full time IM after my grads`
I'd say don't quit unless you're making more than your opp cost. You need to already be making a profit before you give up the potential for a salary out of school.
If you've already put in so much work and time its like a retroactive waste to quit school now. If you're getting bored try taking fewer classes and spend more time making money. That's a win for you and even if you don't plan on using your degree to get a job it is a big deal and a huge milestone in life...my 2 cents.
^^^ I tend to agree, if you've got all of that time invested I definitely wouldn't quit. Good luck with whatever you decide
no i didnt even though i got my own business and computer degree i still need college degree just to be safe
