For me, picking computers degree was more of a last minute drug induced binger than a serious premeditated decision. I just happen to be hanging with some tech bros (one is a socialist now, the other fully reclused himself out of existence). I got the degree easily in 4 years, but they both dropped out and are a billion times smarter than me. They got jobs instantly, but I desperately needed the degree paper because my resume was going to be a long list of waitress positions thrown straight into the trash can without it.
I mean it always made sense if you're trying to make a buck.
I've always loved tech and was really stoked to finally study it in college. I just couldn't find a way to help pay for college so my first year I got a paid internship doing development and a side gig doing retail. It was a life saver, but I also got super burned out doing school and working at the same time, and got to get disillusioned with the tech industry before any of my friends even made it out of college.
