Is it meaningful to go to university?

Is there any meaning when I go to university now?

With that in mind, my sense of inferiority deepened.

I thought that books were enough for studying.

Perhaps I just wanted a diploma after all.

***

I got a job when I graduated from high school.

I couldn't afford to go to university economically, and I didn't have the guts to do a working student, so I decided by passivity.

At that time, my heart was eager to earn money as soon as possible.

When I went out into society, I realized that my status changed depending on my educational background.

My colleague, who noticed it early on, began studying there and entered university.

I thought I would do that at first, but I quickly quit.

I'm no longer attracted to studying for exams or studying at university.

If I spend my time on a diploma, I decided to spend it on what I really want to do.

Then I started studying computers.

But when I tried, I wanted something that proved my ability.

There were two methods I came up with at the time, one was to launch free software, and the other was to qualify.

I chose to qualify because I felt it was too time-consuming to do both.

One thing I thought about when I got a qualification was that it would work to some extent in the society of educational background.

The signaling is fantastic!

The evaluation was higher than I expected, so I went on to qualify.

After getting a certain degree of qualification, I no longer have the qualification I want to obtain.

And I turned to university.

At that time, the only value to the university was the qualification of a bachelor's degree.

I could only go to an online university because I had a job, but I learned a lot more than I expected, and I regretted that I didn't go there immediately after graduating from high school.

However, I think I didn't study when I went there...

Although I learned a lot from studying at university, I have rarely gained in-depth knowledge of my specialty, the IT field.

The only thing I knew was the name.

Well, I don't deny it, because just knowing its name can be useful.

From the perspective of improving workability, we have found that there is nothing better than on-site.

To be honest, I think that graduating from high school and getting into society made me an excellent choice.

Fortunately, I have various IT-related qualifications. Even if you don't go to university, you don't have to worry about work if you have qualifications and experience.

I've spent a lot of time in university, wasting time, making excuses for myself.

However, I didn't have confidence in myself, and I took on the challenge by qualifying.

The signaling was high when I got a qualification, and I was evaluated more than my ability.

I tried to get more and more qualified, but eventually, I couldn't overcome the inferiority of being a high school graduate, so I went to university.

My university is a tranquilizer.

Because I still go there.

Now I am studying multivariate analysis and things that have nothing to do with my work.

I feel that the goodness of the original academic field can be seen when I realize the real value of a university that does not aim for the signaling.
