Xscape1993: It is advise like this that destroys people's destiny. Go and learn to code and make your money . Nigeria education is not even worth shit at tech interviews . Think for your self and dont let the Nigeria education promise lie to you . They are literally worthless. |

Discord: Go with your heart . I know a Medical student who dropped out of UI Medical School after 4 years, retrained and Qualified as a Chartered Accountant and when that turned out to be over saturated with too many Accountants chasing few jobs, he retrained in computer programming and he has not looked back since. There is a currently a Year 5 female Medical student of the same UI who is currently contemplating dropping out as her passion is in shoe making and from her bespoke shoe making business at Ibadan, she earns so much that she is an employer of labor with a lot of shoe making equipment bought from the proceeds of her shoe making business. To cushion the blow for your parents, you can simultaneously with your programming course enroll on a part time distance learning course (also in ICT) with the open university but concentrate on mastering the programming language course and passing the certification exam within Max 6 months with a score of 80% or more and then immediately start rigorously job hunting. If you give it your best shot and all you've got, I can see you earning multiples of what that 5 year course could give you (all possible within 6 months) if you are prepared to pay the price for instance have a goal of mastering a programming language within 3 months and passing the certification exam BUT you most likely will have to study and practice on your computer at least 10 hours a day, 7 days a week , every day for 3 months at a stretch and immediately afterwards you sit the certification exam whilst your brain is still fresh with your studies and after smashing the certification exam immediately start applying for as many programming jobs as is humanly possible per day and within 1 month post certification, you WILL get a well paid ICT job. But you have to want it enough to resolve to pay the price as enumerated above. Good luck. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

You will be used as a contract staff. The company that will be ur handler will be collecting double or triple of what you will be paid. You have plenty time in school to be what u want to be and still have a minimum of 2-1. DONT MAKE THAT MISTAKE. YOU WILL REGRET IT 1 Like 1 Share |

Discord: I know 2 guys that were both in your shoes. Very brilliant chaps. Programming is an art that requires a lot of focus, so one of them switched to an easier course that didn't require any calculations, in order to focus more on programming, while the other continued his difficult course (mathematics), along with programming. The first one didn't have issues; he allocated time for each easily. The second one had a harder time tho, cos mathematics no be beans. He ended up with a few carryovers. So young blood, if your course is not so difficult, I'd advise you combine them...otherwise... |

ecomalchemist: Lool. If I calculate how much data I spent on my own to learn. Honestly it’ should be in the range of say 400k. The enhancement drug is also a temptation, I actually did search, it was crazy!!! But I drink just green tea anyway. Tough road, but rewarding. Op please stay in school and code everyday. At least your parents would sponsor your programming path indirectly. Make sure you do well on your first degree too though (a 2:1 or nothing) otherwise, you will regret it. Scholarships for relocation are all dependent on a good first degree, don’t deceive yourself |

freesoul12: Do you know what programming gan gan entails? How is it that people neednt have a physical offie before they start an internet business? Facebook, google , microsoft's staffs and others can work from home anytime anyday. So, why will he abandon school when he can do both? |
Re: Thinking Of Dropping Out Of College To Focus On Programming by Mkingz(m): 8:26pm On May 28, 2021 |
Best thing would be to combine both...Reason being that you have the leverage of still being under your parents care and you wouldn’t have to bother about money alot and also you can keep working on programming,trying and failing till you master the craft and start earning decent income. Discord: |

The feeling is not bad, but never you drop out is not worth it....you can school and still program....this is my 11years in programming....dont ever think of dropping out ....just secure the certificate to avoid regrets ....tomorrow is still far |

"Bill Gates dropped out of college and look at him now” yeah he dropped out of *Harvard* and his parents bought him his first computer back when they cost as much as freaking helicopters. Jeff Bezos got a huge fucking loan from his wealthy family to start Amazon “in his garage.” Too many people still believe the “worked their way up from nothing” bullshit about billionaires. Better go school, then compliment your hustle with handwork and hardwork no let who dey plan to maltreat h mechanic and gateman deceieve you ooo. Go to school and network. |

I don't need to read thru whatever reasons other have used to justify the silly decision you're about to make but I can only tell you one thing, YOU WILL REGRET IT. Pls don't drop out, Finish your school first. |

Sheriman: Yes.....However, there are procedures...e.g. student may need to see the Counsellor..(each student affairs building has one) who should support the student's request with a letter.. the matter will later be considered in the Uni's senate meeting and decision reached and communixated to the student through the Departmental head. |

talk2hb1: Learning isn't only on YouTube.... will later be able to pay to any uni they like..for any course module they desire...and approach verified certifying bodies for the qualifications they desire.... While YouTube is a knowledge house... there's still the role of certifications which once sorted out..will make conventional university attendance and schooling a redundant practice |
