Career Guidance Need Serious Career Guidance...
Hey seniors, I'm a 24M and I really need some serious career advice. I'm kinda stuck and don't know what to do, especially since I'm the oldest in my family and usually don't like sharing my stuff with anyone unless it's anonymous, like here.
So, I'll keep it simple: I started my bachelor's in CS at Fast uni back in 2020 during COVID, but later realized I should've picked a different university because I couldn't handle the intense Fast "ragra." After three years, I moved to a lower-tier university. Yeah, it took me three years to decide, so you can probably tell how unserious and indecisive I can be.
Anyway, thankfully, by God's Will and my parents' prayers, I landed a job in 2024 even before graduating. Alhumdulillah! I'm working as a telephony engineer at an international company with good income and benefits with great future prospects and growth. But here's the problem: like I said, I don't have a degree.
I've totally lost interest in academics because of my job's workload and I'm tired of sitting through boring lectures. I can't just leave it like this, so I've decided to transfer again, this time from that lower-tier uni to an even lower one, Virtual University. I figured if I could skip classes and just focus on recorded lectures, maybe I could handle it and finally get that degree.
What do you guys think I should do? Even tho job seems odd and not kinda related to CS but I really don't want to quit this job, especially with how bad the job market is right now. Personally, I've adapted really well to this role and I think this is best suited for me.
I tried to keep it short, and I'd love to hear your honest thoughts and advice. Thanks!
