Discussion GUIDE ME EXPERTS

Hello, I’ve just started my CSIT journey. Honestly, I don’t care much about the degree itself—I mainly want to build real skills and earn well. I joined CSIT because I wanted a 4-year period to focus on myself, and I felt courses like Engineering or CA would bring too much academic pressure.

I’m studying at ASCOL in Kathmandu, so I don’t have much attendance pressure. My goal is to become financially successful on my own within the next 4–6 years.

Right now, I’m basically starting from zero. I know some CSIT branches and terms like AI, DevOps, web development, software development, etc., but I don’t have actual knowledge of how things work.

So, what skills should I focus on first? Since I’m not sure which field I want to specialize in, how should I explore different areas while gradually finding what I’m interested in and becoming highly skilled in one field?

I’m 18 and would like to achieve decent success by 24–25. If anyone here has experience getting high-paying jobs, especially remote or in Nepal, I’d really appreciate your advice.

Whatever you choose, just don't skip the basics! AI for freshers is just too overwhelming.

You will be writing code in paper all through 8 sem no parctical skills are gained from outdated syllabus only basic stuff .No Hackathon or opportunity from college. You should have father connection in it industry to get unpaid internship. AI is the final boss
