I'm taking a year off college to upskill/work. Advice?
My 2c, we live in a society where college education matters to people. You can take a year off and learn React or just get an internship and make money.<p>I had 6 internships, some paid &gt; $50&#x2F;hr. Before this, I almost dropped my CS degree for boot camp and glad I didn’t.<p>There is no shortcut. There is a mix of luck and grinding. You have 30+ years of work ahead of you. Finish this 1 milestone to make the initial start easier. How? Leetcode for 3 months, Network, interview and work while studying. You will have insane experiences. I saw firmware at big tech, security at startups and science at big oil. Things compound even if it feels slow.
