As a 20 year old, I have both :')
Still want to do uni and make a name for myself, achieve some cool things for the world & humanity, but at the same time I feel like just "making the most of it," and try being content just messing around with electronics and FOSS in my free time... But I guess that can just be my back-up if university doesn't pan out.
Network. Get to know people. That's what my parents never got across. People can hand you jobs in Uni. Out there you have to scruff for them and fight tooth and nail for a crappy job regardless of your SAT scores. The bigger thing that I never understood: you don't make yourself. Other people bolster you into positions. It's not cheating. It's how the system works.
Gonna save this comment, thanks. Stuff like this is difficult to plan out when you didn't expect to get this far to begin with lol
Yeah, sorry. The world isn't done with you yet.
:'(
You know, you'd be a lot prettier if you smiled more often.
I want to be a professor so I can do Foss stuffs. I see a lot of flexibility on the type of tech used by professors.
