I've seen a lot of discussion about my choice of looking for a job directly after Highschool.
Reasons against college
- I recently visited a College Conference and wans't really impressed by any of them, mainly because their presented curriculum where basic js, css, html, react, easy leetcode algorithms which I already know
- I don't really happy with my current position in School, where I sit and listen to the teacher talking about a topic for an hour which I could teach myself with a 5 min youtube video
- Additionally my plan was to move to the US where Waterloo University would be 100k a year for non-us-citizen
- I've heard that after a few years of working as a Software Engineer the college degree doesn't matter anymore
- Having an income
- learning from experienced Software Engineers
Reasons for college:
- the life experience
- some people say getting a job without a degree is almost impossible
What do you guys think about this list?
