^^ true, but unless he is in an Ivy or well known higher end school ( close to Ivy ), then it wont matter as I have found its not the school you went to ( unless its Ivy-ish ) that companies care about, but that you have the paper.
Just got a full scholarship to a university
- Thread starter Friends
- Start date
Paper holds the only true value in life, why else would they put the money on it?
Btw, I'm black - checkmate you beta faggot.
albino?
Screw the others - good for you man. The piece of paper does jack your income up no matter what these guys are saying.
I think this is super cute.
But the question were all really wondering about ...
Will you still have time to troll STS even with your new scholarship?

Hopefully, I'm just praying I can put in at least 2 hours a day in STS. wickedfire is my fuckbuddy.
I've pulled 6 figures working as a programmer, but it will take you while to get there. If everything goes to shit don't expect to go out and just find a job paying $80k a year, because you have a piece of paper. That will get you into a $50k to $60k a year job and then in a couple years you'll be able to get real money. If you're wanting to pursue your online stuff and use that as a backup plan then you best bet is to start networking now. Go hangout at local computer clubs and get involved. That way you can build a network of friends currently in the industry and demonstrate your knowledge to them without having to have a job. Then if you do fall on hard times and need a job you're more likely to land one, because you'll have someone at the company recommending you and vouching for your skills. I'd also get involved in an open source project. Personally, I have a little code inside of PHP and I'm starting to get involved with another big open source project. Mainly, because I find it fun.
First off, OP, Fuck you if you have the mentality that the reason why you are going to be successful is because you have your degree. Majority of the guys here can testify to why that is the case. I can understand in your 20's when you get out of university that that sort of pay is great, but you will always and I mean ALWAYS be someone else's puppet with that mentality. I'm not trying to knock you for getting a degree, I'm about to finish mine. What I'm knocking you for, is the "investment bankers" mentality. Countless times, I've stood around in my classrooms with guys who aspire to be investment bankers just because of their degree and all that drives me is knowing I want to be the guy whose money is the money they work for. All I'm saying is to be practical and don't think that the degree is just the route....
You're right, but there are ways to get 2 degrees like CS and EE fairly quick. At one school I went to you would take the CS program and graduate. You would then transfer to another school and take 2 courses and then you'd graduate with an EE. I didn't do that, but I knew several people who did.
It's also one of the occupations that tends to have a short lifespan these days. Though that might be a bonus, if you are able to earn a fairly high salary for a short period of time and use that money to get other things going. It's easier than making $12,000 at McDonalds and using that to fund a business, that's for sure.
Yeah papajohn, our college has a program where you can finish two degrees (i just called it a double major, not sure what the exact terminology is) for 1 extra year rather than having a major and a minor. I think that's worth it for the extra year.
I'm just using the funds from the job (if needed, i intend to be up and running quite well online by the time I graduate) to get rolling bigtime in my business. The most important things I've learned so far from marketing online:
1. Take action (most important)
2. Having a bankroll isn't 100% necessary, but it damn sure makes everything 100X more profitable and at least 10X easier.
