I know I'm done, what else can be done? Putting me in hospital doesn't help resolve anything, just gets me through to the next crisis. There's always another and another and another.  |
Well I can tell you in the US most people who get computer science degrees end up doing something boring instead of the fun google/apple style stuff....all the cool people drop out after a couple of years so don't let the lack of a degree get you down on that one. You can learn on your own if that works better for you. My friends husband is actually going to work for google soon he pretty much teaches himself everything. Why not make an app or something....
You could actually specialize in stuff from a MI perspective if you wanted. I know the other day I wished I had google glass with kind of a switch that would throw back the last 30 seconds of audio/video to check for hallucinations....most non MI people would never even think about that except in a dash cam. If you made something like that you'd be helping a lot of people who are confused about what is real or not, possibly including yourself...just an idea.
My point is nontraditional is the way to go in comp sci....even back in my day the schools were behind the reality And people were complaining....one of the google founders even went to my school during that period and dropped out. Don't give up yet.....
