Why I Dropped Out of Georgia Tech MSCS Program

Hey all! Today I'm talking about my reasons why I decided to drop out of Georgia Tech Online Masters in Computer Science (OMSCS) program. I felt that things in the program I could learn at my own pace - yes it would harder, but still. I've dreamt of being a youtube content creator for a long time and it was more important to create valuable content for me. Ultimately, I faced burnout and could not keep up with everything and had to make some priorities on what comes first in my life and commit to it, which led me dropping out of college. Feel free to ask me questions in the comments section to clarify things! Cheers!

Thank you so much for checking out this video! Obviously it is long overdue from the time I actually dropped out, but I felt like it was an important thing to discuss and share... Hope it helps you someway and let me know if you have any questions here in the comments below! Cheers :)

I considered dropping out every week the first year and a half as I would have preferred an online, social experience instead. Then covid hit so I was going to study online anyway; I finished last semester so it was worth it in the end :)

Congrats man!! That’s a big accomplishment and very encouraging! Who knows, maybe I’ll go back one day if there’s a desire for it :)

@@GreidiAjalik Unless you need the degree to teach or for a better salary. I only finished because it kept me motivated, you can learn ai or software development on your own.

You had to make a tough decision! Kudos to you for discussing it openly. Looking forward to more content.

[@GreidiAjalik]

Thanks for the support George!!

Kudos to you for choosing family and personal mental health > another random degree. I also share the same sentiment about the burnout and the idea of paying for education material that is already free to the public. This program isn't for everyone, the people who seem to excel this program are folks who don't have too many obligations such as a marriage or kids, or someone who's a top veteran in this industry just gunning for another badge on their shoulder. But for people like me who desire the official degree/certification for a career boost, I understand i'm paying $XX,XXX amount for the official process. Wishing you and your family the best.

Keep Self-learning & Sharing ...👍

Family first, I took me sometime to realize that... Self study is amazing like Coursera, etc.. regards

[@GreidiAjalik]

So true!

Thanks for sharing, really useful! Question - Did you get certificates of the courses already completed and can they be used in resume?

[@GreidiAjalik]

I didn’t get certificates (other than my transcript that shows what classes I took) and probably they could be used in resume if needed…

[@oddassembler]

I feel like I should go back to college, just so I can drop out and join the league's of all the smart people that also dropped out...

[@GreidiAjalik]

lol... sounds like a "good" plan to me... that's all we need... :D
