I had to live in a 2 room apartment with 4 guys to get through college and so will you.

>>46946 guess growing up in a family which always told me to worry about anything at all since I was a kid made me become a really weak person. thanks for sharing your experience, it motivates me.

>>46943 Drop out. Computer science drop outs tend to be more successful than grads because they realize that application is more important than theory

>>46949 After suddenly finding out that my parents got literally nothing saved up for me because my father soykafted off all the money on some random whore he reunited with last year who he have known since his teenage times, i couldn't even figure out what to do anymore and got confused with my life like a retard. I have tried everything so I could keep surviving on my own. Even grinded on some ML related projects and a few research papers during high school, so that I would get a scholarship and continue my education for free, but failed miserably. I had everything planned out. Attending college, building those projects i have always been passionate about, graduate on the subject i always found interesting, and land a job on some chill company, live with tech... but got messed up unexpectedly way beyond saving. Been trying hard to get a simple job recently and handle my own financial burden, but its being not enough. I thought its the last thing i could go for. Asking strangers for money. Only if the job field didn't ask for a bachelors degree besides the skills, I would've never worried myself about college/universities at all.

>>46949 >dropping out because you lack foresight/resources is good and smart because people who drop out because they are smart and plan ahead are pretty successful

>>46950 do you have a webpage or any open-source projects? I think lains might be more willing to help you out and donate if they could see what you're doing. I'll toss a few your way too. >>46949 dropouts are successful because they get job offers in college. what you should do instead is join a society or club where you can network and be given job offer - all you have to do is talk to well connected people about technology, especially the stuff they're working on. the Association of Computing Machinery comes to mind, but any informal with tech founders in it would be fine. being young, you'll have a leg up on everything, like the kids with a thiel fellowship.

>>46943 I am so sorry. I chickened out from mining bitcoin back in 2010 due to being hurt mentally. I really was afraid of every little thingy back then. Couldn't bring myself at first, and when I did, I have lost the name of the site and did not know what "history" of an internet browser means. Ouch.
