But I was born too soon to benefit from any of this. Nowadays, people can use tools like Khan Academy, and many schools have special math labs. Looking back on it, I was probably just disengaged because of teaching styles. Plus, my parents were too busy to help me with my math homework in the evenings. The problem was that I had completely loathed math all throughout middle school and high school. So I knew that programming was what I wanted to do after graduating. I saw his drive, and the excitement he felt for programming, and it inspired me. My grandfather was more than into computers - the man built and programmed a sorting warehouse robot, and maintained it until the day he was diagnosed with brain cancer. To this day, I can’t force myself to sit down and read a historical memoir, and my distaste for sports only grows stronger with every edition of College Gameday. I coasted through college on a football scholarship, and instead of the “hard” degree of computer science, I opted for a much easier degree in history.īut my college experience left a bad taste in my mouth. Well, to be honest, I had no formal training at all. Before I started my master’s degree, I had barely any experience with programming. And as I found, these resources ended up being even better than those of my “fancy” university. I dropped out because I discovered that the resources needed to make my programming dream come true were already available to me for free. I didn’t drop out because the program was too hard, or because I didn’t have enough time for it.
That makes explaining what happens next a bit harder, but explain it I shall: I dropped out. My days were pervaded with a sense of comfort - of determinism. Finally, my dreams were starting to come true. When I got into a computer science master’s degree program, I felt ecstatic. By Robb I spent $110,000 on grad school, only to realize that the free online resources were actually better I spent $110k to Decide That the Free Option was the Better Option.Source:
