program is 18 months and ranges from html to 3d graphics. I'm
Gabriel,
You're over halfway through an 18 month course. Finish it.
You may no longer learn anything of any technical benefit for your plans for
future, but a qualification is invaluable in life due to the absurd rules by
which society judges your worth. I have a few qualifications that I figure

My question to you is this: Do you think it would be wise for me to finish
the program and get the degree even though I'm not learning what I want to
be learning, or should I just call it off and focus on web design?
a degree might not be essential to start out...
but in 5 to ten years when you are trying to get senior positions you
will be MUCH better for it

the ability to finish something you started
I hear this comment thrown about alot as one
of the major benefits of getting a degree, frankly I think that's absolute
garbage.
If a degree is reward for perserverence,all
members of this list should be given honorary degrees today
The ability to finish what you've started is good.

useless is more better!
