Congrats! I graduate next year, I think I'll just give myself some free time for about a year or two after that and then go to college if I can.  |

Originally posted by Jesper What industry are looking to work in?? Cause if it's computers, then maybe some one should tell you now. There are few emplyers that I've seen that will evel LOOK at you if you don't have some form of post secondary education in IT. Yes, yo learn a lot though person projects, and working (if you can GET a computer job) but you will not learn as much nor more than if you were to learn it in school. I'm not talking experience, but the things you can learn. I considerd my self to be pretty adept with computers before I started post secondary school, studing for the IT field. and yes there was a lot of stuff I already knew, but I learned so much more in class than I would have learned in the same amount of time or more at a job. Experience is just not the same as an education, and employers will tell you the same. Ultimatly it is your choice, but if I were in your shoes, I'd start post secondary school in the fall. Or at the last, in the winter if you get a good job for the summer. You don't get second chances at this stuff. (edited by Yarx on 06-05-04 06:16 PM) |

Originally posted by YarxI don't get experience by going to school. I don't get formal education by going to work. Either way I choose, there's a tradeoff. I pick working instead of going to school because I believe that I can get a great deal of experience in three years. My plan includes going to courses on weekends or evenings (or through work; any employer good enough to want some education from me will also realize growth potential in employees and will send you to courses) eventually, but I'd rather build a foundation first, and that includes getting a job ASAP. Going to school for three years (while ofcourse meriting and a learning experience) is not ASAP. I have made a personal judgement that I know enough stuff to be broad (many languages/techniques) and yet above average at most of them. I also learn new stuff very fast. Any employer not realizing the potential in that after a fair interview and some good tests doesn't know the business good enough to have my attention. It should also be noticed that I'm in a unique position. I can work freelance and build web sites and the like, or work full-time either as a dedicated programmer or as the "computer guy" in a company. I certainly have many choices beyond going to school, and a good opportunity to rack up experience pretty easily. In case someone's wondering about my grades not being good enough, I ended HALF of my classes with the highest possible grade. I didn't fail one class, and I attended about 99% of the classes, including sick days. |

I think Jesper's plan is pretty solid, but only because he's shown that he knows his way around quite a few languages.  Part-time student + decent paying job = improving your skills = success. |

| I graduated too, as Kwan said. I may have some pictures sometime, but they're bleh anyway. I'm gonna continue with my education, most likely it'll be Computer Engineer somewhere in sweden. It feels like a little holiday though, almost like I'm waiting to go back again. Had some cool teachers (and friends) that I'll miss :\ Jesper, what's your average? |

| Congratuations to Jesper and Jizuko on graduating. I also just recently graduated from high school. It took place about a week ago and I felt really good once I got that diploma in my hand. I am also gonna continue with my education. I am going to start college next month at a technical school called Collins College and I am going to major in Game Design. Some of my friends think it is dumb to continue on with my education so soon but this will be somthing I actually want to do. Jesper, good luck and hopefully, you become very successful in your ventures. |

| I wore a dress on Jizuko's graduation. That counts as atleast something to be equally praised for XD (Jesper, if you do have the possibility to start on a job, and in one of your posts you said you had several, you should go for it. I know you got some brains between your ears, and you're cocky enough to get through in the working part of life. I started university when I graduated, and it was the most overrated and boring thing IMO, after 12 years of schooling <<; I commend anyone who gets through such boredom, but damn, you're lucky if you can get a job now, instead of very likely getting a similar job in 3 or 4 years.) Now show me your dorky hat. edit: reread it. Ignore my rambling between brackets. (edited by Sofie on 06-07-04 03:53 PM) |
