I was actually studying Journalism at college, and they had an intro course in web development. And then dropped out of journo to study programming instead.

Hmm?

@Jas You did it wrong.

You are supposed to get the journalism degree FIRST.

THEN you get fired.

oh right

THEN you learn how to code.

@Jas smart move

@Mannekino outstanding move

How was that smart?! He completely shortcut the whole process.

What do we have colleges for if you just get a job?

@Jas I studied Economics but ended up in IT just because I loved that as a hobby.

Well, hold on guys.

thats a transition

No reason to get upset.

What really baffled me at that college was that the IT knowledge of not only the teachers, but also the students was entirely nonexistent.

I mean this was in 2008, but still

@Jas Did you at least get a big student loan that you're planning to pay off for the next 20 years?

@Deleted User nah I'm Swedish, free education o/

WTF

You are doing it all wrong!

My A Level I.T Teacher was a Geography Teacher. It was total shit

So you now have a job, you have no student debt and no journalism degree.

@Den Röda Smurfen

Are colleges a JOKE to you?

I'm afraid so.

Sorry, kitty.

That BuzzFeed career is probably forever out of reach for you now.

I warned you.
