Professional-Growth

I work in an industry where knowledge is, most of the time, valued over diplomas and certifications, so it has been relatively easy to thrive without a degree. That does not mean that I haven’t received my fair share of “you have to be an actual engineer” and “I don’t think you are qualified to do that”. I did have the option to finish my computer science studies, but as I was already working in the industry I found myself with less and less time to study and had to make a decision. I ended up quitting my studies to… have time to learn.
