Pay them the respect they deserve and bring only those discussions here.

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

are doing is very technology based. Of course if you want
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

At the end of the day its your decision!

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.
Russ already stopped this thread. Please do not continue with it on list.

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.
But I think, the ability to give up what you've started if you find it
useless is more better!
