I did a four-year degree, but I never went to lectures. I realised very quickly my time was better spent studying from a book than hand-copying a book from a blackboard. I was ripped off, but I needed that piece of paper -- or so I thought.

Fun fact #1: I finished my university study in Hungary, and Hungary is well known about bad/old teaching methods (at least within the country) Fun fact #2: Despite the previous one, one of my teachers spoked about money, how much we will earn etc. Fun fact #3: I earn way under what I heard... Fun fact #4: My earning is still very good within Hungary.

[@CuriousAndCuriouser1865]

Great video. A follow up question for me would be what skills are actually useful for a computer scientist/software engineer to know? The outline I've come to the conclusion with is something like computer architecture, understanding how the operating system works (OS programming?), understanding how a compiler works, maybe the ability to make your own language (supposedly makes software development easier), discrete math, algorithms and data structures, computer networking, databases, and several languages as a baseline.

After graduation with B.A. in Math and a minor CS, it took awhile to get a job. So in September 1989, I got my first job as a IBM Mainframe Jr. programmer, and I was offered $28k a year as a salary. At that time, I didn't know if it was a good entry level salary, and thus I took it. By the time I was forced to retire in 2012, I was earning $90k a year, but I was never able to get another job in as a programmer as I was already 60 years old. Btw, I do agree with everything you said in your video, and I can tell you that I learned much more during my 23 years on my job than what I did learn at my university. Thank you for all your videos, and let me add that I adore your English accent. 🤔

[@sergey_zatsepin]

CS degree sets and trains person's mindset. This is the main purpose of technical education, and as a result, person should solve job tasks more effectively rather than person without CS degree.

[@JieJie_Li]

I really appreciate the video. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

[@drop_messages6226]

If you are going to college, to do something you can do without going to college, then you are going to college for the wrong reasons. If all you want is a job, go to trade school you can socialize and network, without going to college You can "expand your mind" without going to college. The main reason I went to college, yes, to get a degree, but I was also prepared to be spinning a lot of plates at once (learn time management, figure out a way to pay for college, without going into debt, take classes, study enough to pass the tests, still have time for a life). I am glad I went, but if I could do it all over again, I would just take some marketable classes at a community college then enter the work force. The best reason to go to college, I think, is to come out better prepared for the work force, then you would be, without the experience.

[@CodeBeauty]

You are right. In this profession having more knowledge is always more appreciated than having a higher degree, and I'd probably do the same if I had to choose again- take a few useful classes or just get a mentor who has a lot of experience. 😊

[@vladkirakosyan4987]

You are my favourite channel to learn c++ material. Now I'm working on JS problems.But your advice helps me to get a job or even free courses in EPAM. Thanks a lot. Hope, someday I'll work on c++ advanced.

You can set the BIOS to restart the PC. We do that because the UPS batteries have been dead for 3 years. I work for a government so it’s hard to get it fixed.

[@MrDonpasqualino]

It's only the best of us that share our wisdom to raise others up

[@nitnelavspetorials]

So, we should focus more on the knowledge rather than the degree, and also on the real-world problems rather than university problems, you say. These are some valuable tips, thanks for pointing out these! When you are very confused and don't know which way should you take, a person that can guide you might be all you need.

[@philipmcdonnell7168]

I think the areas discussed are typical of the whole university versus the real world situation for most careers. It certainly aplied to me almost 40 years ago when I was doing construction.

[@pierreabbat6157]

I got my CS degree long before multithreaded, multicore processors were common, but judging by the syllabi I've seen of contemporary CS courses, the teaching of concurrent and parallel computing hasn't advanced that much. I've been writing a program called PerfectTIN, which processes point clouds for land surveyors. It has N threads (N is 12 on my box) which all run around a TIN, stored as a winged edge data structure, updating it in parallel, without stepping on each other's toes. I did this with some locking techniques that I've never seen in a CS course or anywhere else.

[@michael.a.covington]

7:01 That is EXACTLY why computer science professors are encouraged to do consulting for corporate clients on the side. (American universities permit and encourage this. Not all professors do it.)

[@christosioannou9990]

Hello Saldina! your help to learning C++ is brilliant. I have developed a VR system and want to port the code to C++ you are a superstar! Thank you - Christos

[@jdkingsley6543]

Ive become fully dedicated to learning C++, I was very worried about its application into days world and didn't understand why they were still teaching it. After some research, I realized C++ is still very much in demand. Especially for security.

[@epic109]

so do you think focusing in c++ is worth it because i really need a mentor like right now

[@reggiedaniels6920]

Well, Saldina I won't run into those problems because you are my professor and university for C++ and whatever other language that you either teach or will teach by means of KZbin. Now, I will never be stuck with what is in the box. I thought what you said about getting your driver's license and then you were driving on your own without an instructor anymore.

[@TheAVsChannel]

Hi Saldina, just came here from watching your video on exception handling :) I could follow your explanation very well! I am currently studying media informatics in Germany. I am not to disappointed with my university so far. This semester we learnt C++ in university and my professor in this module made great efforts, to produce well explained videos for us. We also had our first SQL module and had a great module on convenient industrial design (designing stuff with Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign). I don't disagree with your points, but studying this topic at a unversity and taking it serious, actually helped me accomplish other important things faster in the last year. I am looking forward to watching more of your C++ tutorials :) Do you have a discord server related to the channel?

[@diconicabastion5790]

I can't count the number of people coming out of college I had to retrain over the years. Honestly, there are only a few colleges these days I would even accept a technical degree from as proof they know most of what they should. My Background covers Nuclear and Electrical Engineering and CS. The VIP client you talked about. I'd have done things a little different. I'll explain why remember I have the electrical engineering background on top of the CS. I worked with a lot of automated systems over the years such as entire automated warehouse and much more. Insist the system is put on a UPS and they contact the power company to fix the power issue. It will save them money in several ways. If that program or application is getting interrupted enough they are complaining about it the hardware is probably also taking damage. Not just that any work your application has to redo is time wasted for them. I'd build the application to check the UPS power and trigger from it. No sense having it run additional commands and do additional processing or drive access if not needed. That will save them power costs. Also if they don't resolve the power issue it is likely to get worse and cause even more problems. As to the things universities don't teach and teach wrong. There are a lot. To many people coming out of college think specialization is the way to go. Example: Just working with JAVA. Even C and C++ programmers coming out rarely have any EE or ASM courses so they don't really understand what is going on at the hardware level so their programming suffers for it. Colleges often teach BS like about how code optimization isn't that important. They say something like code readability is more important rely on the compiler. They ignore the facts that properly written code that is optimized is usually smaller and easier to read and get through not just that the performance effects how much power servers use and a lot more. There are number of ways code can be optimized that a compiler can't do. Exponential complexity.Is a good place for optimization. Lets say you want to create a random map with 100,000 rooms each room has to be checked to not be on top of another then paths created between them. Doing it all at once will be extremely slow because of exponential complexity. However break the work into sections then later connect those sections and what took 30 minutes can be done under 1 second. Not just that. Take issues such as when to use OOP vs ECS and how ECS can be more friendly for multitasking. I could write a book on the topic. It can reduce code make it more readable, save you work later on when you don't have to check that file trying to get some more performance you already know that is done. It can even save you on stuff like compile time and other aspects. And yet you have thousands of professors teaching it isn't that important. I'll say this also if you are working in a technical field you should never consider your education complete. Programming languages evolve. Second, the more you know the more you can apply to a problem. It allows you to view issues from multiple perspectives. You see a broader picture in how things are effected.

[@reggiedaniels6920]

Saldina, this is Reggie, I hate using FaceBook. But since you are such a very good instructor I'm going to put my dislikes aside so that I can steal as much knowledge that I can from your very intelligent mind. Also, so that I can ask questions and for help whenever it is practical to do so. However, I will always seek to discover the answer or solution before bothering you. Thank you for being such a very giving person, Saldina.

[@zombiehellmonkeygaming1956]

Senior/Principal C++ developers can earn $100,000 - $150,000 USD. Those are people working on applications such as Photoshop as a lead developer. Game developers make much less, probably 1/2 of that. Also, be prepared to lose jobs due to outsourcing. Things were much better in the 80s until about 2005.

[@withpikachu2402]

That's universities in Eastern Europe: waste of time. Because old professors work there. I think companies work on certain things and they will change. We had guest speakers from banks when I studied, but now banks are run completely differently. Without degree it would be hard to adapt to those changes

[@jaytang6232]

Did you skip grade? Why you can be so young and start working back in 2013?

[@Hylocichla]

In her competitive programming video Saldina said she spent three years in university and has worked for four years in the industry. That would be seven years total. Here she is probably including the three years as a college student among her time in the industry (which seems reasonable to me). She may even have worked part-time in the field while going to university or worked as a summer intern then.

[@CodeBeauty]

I started school earlier, but I didn't skip grades. 😊 Mark is right, I started university in 2013, been there for three years and worked on some small projects, and been educating (on/off), so I'm counting that in as well. Beginning of 2017 I started working in a real company and soon after I stopped educating because I realized how many things I have to learn, and I didn't have time for both, until a few months ago when I started this channel. The rest is history 😊

I thought the same thing until I reached my last year... We had two capstone software engineering courses both of which were based around real life/corporate projects and one even being a full fledged internship. Also, the summer internships/co-ops I had the previous years definitely forced me to apply everything I was learning and gave us access to great mentors outside of the classroom.

Also CS degrees suck. Get an EE instead so that you learn more advanced math. Practical experience is a MUST, a degree alone means nothing.

[@wandrade07]

We had to take calculus 1-3, Discreet Math, Linear Algebra, Statistics, a 200 level elective (I chose mathematical modeling), a 300 level elective (I chose a second statistics course)... On top of these we were also require to take physics 1-3 for which Differential Equations was a prerequisite. So no, a good university's CS program doesn't suck and the amount of math courses it requires are no joke.

[@WyMustIGo]

@@wandrade07 There is no comparison to an EE degree. I speak from experience and 40 years in development, including places such as Adobe when I worked on Photoshop. So yeah, it is a joke.
