That's why I never went to college.
I am totally self taught and converted my favorite hobby to work.
OK, then I did have my father's company to work for (small 8 member
engineering company then). But it was the single most important decision in
my life.
I am not asking people to not to go to college, but the crux of the matter
is, nobody can teach you programming or an OS. you need to do it yourself.
Computer science, and theory, yes, a good mentor or tutor makes a
difference.
Unless you get a kick when you see your program compile without errors (at
least at some point in life) or when you see the output of a well designed
algorithm, you should not have career out of it. The problem is, almost
entirely, the IT pool in our country we are talking about does not relate
to this...
