Ask HN: People who dropped out/failed grad school how did it affect you?
I'm currently taking an advanced Computer Science degree at a top British university. I've been incredibly successful in all my assignments and problem sets: achieving either full marks and always above 75%.
I'm currently half way through my finals and there is just so much to learn for my last three exams (all in the same week) I don't know if I will be able to pass (we need at least 50% in each exam or we can't graduate).
It has, without a doubt, between both the most rewarding and stressful year of my life. I didn't quite believe it was possible to learn so much in 8 months. However, should I fail an exam(s), I don't think I can go through the stress of resitting, just to receive a PASS at the end of it.
My question is to those who dropped out or failed grad school: 1. what did you do afterwards and 2. how did it affect your employability in your field of choice?
