College or self-study? Is a good school important?
Long story short:
* I am 20 years old.
* I live in a developing country.
* I've spent three years in a crappy college (private).
* I have a good job as a programmer at a nice startup.
* I have the chance to leave my actual college and enroll at the best university in my country (It is free and SO MUCH HARDER).
* I wish I had a better background in mathematics and algebra. I'm awful :(
* I actually love and enjoy programming.
My heart says to leave the crappy college and enroll in a better school (although I will struggle a lot with the difficulty) but my brain says 'go finish your studies and bore yourself to death doing UML stuff in the easy school'.
