Re: I graduated!!!
Is that bad? The degree plus your experience should serve you pretty well. What's your goal? Seems like you're well on your way to it, whatever it is.

It'll be a long road but I'm hoping a doctorate. I'm gonna be 40 this year, so I see myself being a professor rather than a coder in 10 years. Well see what happens.
Also I changed my avatar :P

Re: I graduated!!!
Was this all online? Did you have a ceremony (not just with friends and family)?
I remember my college graduation well.....or perhaps I should say that I remember a couple parts. One part was a mother walked past with some fancy camera that had an auto-winder. That was back in the days of film cameras, of course, and I could hear that shutter firing as she walked. Hope she had a roll of 36 exposures in there, that way, perhaps she had a few left she could take after blasting off a couple dozen, out of focus, shots of the pavement, which is where the camera was pointed.
The other thing I remember was that I almost got caught trying to break into the bell tower to replace the recorded bells with AC/DC's Hells Bells. I was in my gown and everything, and had to lie in the dust of a balcony, while a buddy of mine did an admirable job of playing dumb as to why he was up there when some admin people caught him. Never did get a chance to swap out the tape, but it would have been epic, had it been possible. The AC/DC version starts off with the tolling of that bell. Everybody would know right away that something wasn't right, but not all of them would have recognized what was coming until the guitar started.

Re: I graduated!!!
No it was not all online. Personally I hate online classes. Was forced to in some occasions due to the pandemic though. And what is really messed up is that my ceremony won't be until May 1st, 2022.

In the US, we wear some robes for graduation that look a whole lot like the dressing gowns of old, just with a different color. They're kind of pointless.

Re: I graduated!!!
Congratulations! Though, I wish to ask, what is so important in graduating college there in the US? Will it provide more opportunities?

Re: I graduated!!!
If his goal is to become a professor, then the answer is definitely yes. That career path would not be open to him without degrees.

Re: I graduated!!!
I'm retired, but when I was still a working hiring manager a degree in anything was almost a requirement.
I used to think that was insane, but soon discovered that a 4 year degree is meant to replace the high school diploma of old. High schools have been dumbed down that much, mainly for political reasons. The hope is that getting through college makes up for a general lack of education.
