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

think having a degree is alot better than just having a portfolio. I guess its
really what you put in, is what you get out. Like you could still do a degree
and just do the bare minimum just keeping up, not putting
My short answer:
A uni degree is more than just a piece of paper, its a statement that you were
determined and dedicated enought to finish what you'd started. I dropped out in 3rd
of 4 years and even though it hasn't affected me yet, I worry that I'll be wishing I
had finished it when I apply
For this thread, answers would be better directed to Gabriel offlist.

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

Having
the degree is one thing, but enjoying what you do is another thing
completely. I don't think you'll find many ppl who are successful at what
they do but totally hate doingit... If you get into an IT job before
you finish then you'll havea headstart on everyone
else.

I'm following behind the curve on this one as it seems people have put

While it can be difficult with a small client and budget (and a son who
comes up with rinky-dinky graphics), the best strategy for any
design/communication work is to discuss and agree on (and formalise) a

I do agree with the person that said you should go ahead and finish the
course work since you are already half way through it.
That said, from my experiences in the job market, what matters more than a
degree to potential employers is a good portfolio and experience working on
projects.
