Before being an SE, I had many shit jobs and getting the college degree unlocked many doors for me.

I went to a state uni, it was relatively cheap, I don't think I would make anything close to what I make now as I hate sales. However, I know smart people with art degrees, which are useless to them.

Every competent person I have met when studying computer science is doing very well, would they achieve the same success without a CS degree? Maybe, but that degree definitely helps getting jobs at non-tech companies.

I have no "regrats"
