Many moons ago I was part of the first group for a new program to build up skills with html, css, etc. I was excited but then found the professor had trouble displaying an image on the first day and I had to show how to the class. I noped out. They clearly weren’t ready. Felt wrong that they were taking money.
as much as i disagree with him on certain things, Mike Rowe had a good point with a vid he did a long time ago. sometimes your passion isn’t what will pay what you need. it can still be your passion, but you might need to look elsewhere for what you want to do for a living. what he was getting at was to not overlook new things, that you might actually like as a job, even if it wasn’t your passion.
for example, few people choose HVAC repair as a passion, but it pays well, and might be stimulating for someone looking for a technical type job.
personally my passion is working with computers, but it can be hard to make a living at it, at least at a consumer level. but the thing is i really like helping the average joe find GOOD ways to spend their money. i’d have loved to have graduated college and worked on enterprise grade stuff, but i have a learning disability and can’t pass Algebra. this means i can’t get my degree.
When you pick a degree based on what you think will pay out, versus what you love, or even what you are inclined towards…
That completely ignores shit schools with shit programs. Or the occasional shit professor.
