Hey everyone, I'm 20 years old in my second year of university and I really don't like it, just the learning method sucks. I'm a programmer and I love building things, not sitting in a lecture theater listening to a professor talk through the same slides he's used for 10 years. Absorbing as much (mostly useless) information that I can to pass an exam and then forget it all in a month or so. I hardly remember anything from my first year! Paying £9k/year for this (from student loans), it's ridiculous!
I don't plan on dropping out, although it has crossed my mind so many times now. I'm studying computer science which is heavily in demand so the degree could be very useful to get a job so I have income while I work on a side business. I'm also living with friends subject to a joint tenancy agreement so it's not easy to leave (I'm about 4 hours away from my parents as well).
I probably wouldn't have gone to university if I knew what I know now, if only I had discovered Udemy earlier! It's amazing! I feel like I've learnt so much more from that platform than uni, and stuff that is actually relevant in industry! And also all the books I've read, the things you learn from books like TMF really shifts your mindset!
My motivation is almost completely gone with uni work and course material, etc. All I want to do is work on Quiznetic, which is my current fastlane project. Should I just try and scrape by the course so I can dedicate more time to my projects? Or put them on hold and fully commit to university?
Any advice? Thank you for your time!
Sorry if this is in the wrong category by the way, some of the options (including the college category) were grayed out?
