Hi.

It makes me sad when people say they went into CS because they want to program things. You can learn that without a degree.

College = pay money to get a degree so you get hired more easily

That's pretty much how I feel so far. Sure, I'm learning a few things I didn't before, but for the most part I'm really just paying for a really expensive piece of paper.

Honestly, sometimes it feels like learning how to pass two midterms and a final rather than just learning because something interests you.

I feel the same way.
