I finished from high school last year and I'm currently in the university studying for a computer science degree. But I find it very difficult to proof to my dad that i don't need a CS degree. what I wanted to do after am done with high school is go straight into the work force, level up my tech skills and get an online certificate from platforms like Edureka, then get into business. I told my dad but he wouldn't accept me to drop out of school. I showed him blog post online that quote what google said that GPAs are worthless criteria's for hiring, and a ton of videos on youtube. But He isn't convinced.
I'm thinking of just focusing on getting my skills updated and then start my business.
What advice will you give me.
