Don't drop out bro. That it worked for mark zuck and seun osewa doesn't mean it'll work for you. Circumstances never repeat themselves exactly. Code during the holidays and focus on getting good grades during semesters. Only a fool puts all his eggs in one basket 1 Like |

Does a degree or a cerificate confer on you knowledge? A certificate is a mere validation that you know something on paper. In the programming world what is important is your skill. Are you highly skilled with X+ years of experience in coding? and can you demonstrate your art by incorporating logic with good problem solving skills. Steve Jobs said $Everyone should learn how to code because it teaches you how to think. Elon musk said {We're hiring python programmers, you don't need to have a degree. Your high school diploma is enough as long as you pass the rigorous skill testing process and screening. It's up to you if you want to drop out. Just make sure you do your research very well. Life comes at you very quickly and all your actions will have consequences(good or bad). Eleanor Roosevelt said #In everything a well defined end is the secret to durable success. You might not know where you are going but never give up, start slow but never give up. Some days will be dark but never give up. And finally THE TRUTH IS EASILY DISCERNABLE, i think you are that med lab guy that posted something similar before. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Why is everybody say Mark Zuckerberg dropped out Mark has two degrees, Major in psychology and minor in computer science. Elon musk has two degrees in Economics and Physics. It's only Bill gates i know who dropped out, Bill is a MAD GENIUS. People just spread false misconceptions without finding truth. 5 Likes |

I'm working as a BI Developer in America. I have a 3rd class Bsc in international relations from OAU. While most tech jobs don't require a certification, they require BSc. It shows you're teachable! Try and finish what you started. You will be better for it. 7 Likes 1 Share |

That was how I entered medical school and wanted to quit because of programming ---- fast forward, today I am a programmer with an MBBS certificate. The fact that I graduated from medical school and still am an expert programmer was a double-plus, it shows employers that I am very brilliant. I am not going to start talking about my successes, but I am doing pretty fine. And I am happy that I listened to those that adviced me not to drop out then. 6 Likes |

Discord: Take a gap year from Uni. Write a letter through your registration officer and HOD to the Registrar and Dean of Students' affairs, asking for permission to be away from the university for one academic session. Once this is approved, you can then go ahead to try your hands at full scale programming for a year and see how you do? by then you may have found how you can merge school work with the programming journey or even switched courses to a more programming involved one. Finally, you do not have to offer all the courses on your course form each semester, you are allowed to inform your level registration officer to help you lessen the number of courses you get to attend classes for per semester to the number you feel comfortable enough with. That way, you may have less courses per semester and have more time to focus on programming if you want it so. |

Programming doesnt disturb your schooling. Dont! I repeat . Dont drop out for anything. Do both and finish . One of the best place to learn programmong is School, with your folks, who have same passion. I am talking from personal experience. Best advice is continue both. Most of my friends started their projects from school. They even used school to boost their reputations. They were creating apps, engaging in competitions... organizing seminars and doing lots of cool stuff. After school, it was easy getting jobs as people alreqdy knew them. The school cert made them even attain a higher position in the company. These are the guys heading bank's IT department 4 Likes |

Discord:You don't have to do that. There are many people who have been able to combine both. You can easily combine both. That's for sure. One of the most important things school provide you is not only an education, but also association with people of like mind. Find those who are interested in programming like you and engage with them. Dropping out will rarely give you this opportunity. |

No knowledge is wasted!!! Dropping-out is never an option. You can still be studying and learning your programming... Good luck |
