i honestly was surprised to see some supportive people not only here but in real life.
Everything against the traditional way is seen wrong (i already posted about this subject in another thread).

It's all about how you see things, most people believe that having a degree is a sign of knowledge and can get them a decent life, unfortunately (for them) they were proved wrong nowadays since most of them are going overseas to find a job, work all their lives to end up "surviving"; of course i won't generalize but it's just an example that having a degree is not enough to get you even started properly.

The way i see it is pretty simple, what's the role of uni? what's the role of school?
Help you to get knowledge and give you the basics to get you started.
When you can achieve those by yourself and don't, in my opinion, you will be making a really big mistake since you will be lowering your learning process to the minimum, i chose my way and my "douleb" haven't turned yet or maybe turned in the right direction at a higher speed and it wasn't "Luck" nor "By mistake". I worked really hard on myself when kids were playing video games, going out or even studying.

All of the above posts ideas were about getting the degree to be adopted by X company. Or do this or that underestimating your capabilities and what you could achieve. Why always thinking about posts, companies, monthly salaries. People regardless if you have a degree or not what you know and what you can do will make you reach everywhere you want regardless how you learned it or when simply because whoever gonna buy your product or have you to create him a system doesn't care if you were short or tall, fat or skinny, graduated or not as long you make him satisfied and get what he wants.

I am 21 years old work from home with dynamic shifts with a way higher income comparing to people my age, the only one not holding a degree among 10 engineers at work, yet the most privileged. Mistake? luck? not at all it's knowledge and EXPERIENCE.

Just get out of "That's how things happen" and create your own ways, if you don't take risks in life, you will never achieve anything even using the easy-and-traditional-way-to-reach-stuff don't be fanatic to anything in life, be open to everything, to all possibilities and things you can achieve.

Finally as i always say, think big to go big =)
