    Especially for anything tech related, don’t wait for a school to teach you, you’ll have way more fun and learn so much more by yourself.

    At least until college, then it depends…

      Thanks, for the motivation. But I ment it like I don’t have time because of school. I have exams due in a week and I have to study 10+ topics in grammar, literature and history. For a week I’m like a zombie.

      Wake up at noon, hate life, study bullshit, hate life w/ a numb brain, play some games caz I can’t anymore, it’s 4am so let’s sleep.

      I’d like a job for the summer, and I should be working on contacts, or something I can show to my employer, not on literature.

        I get that, went through it myself and i’ve known plenty of people in that case.

        What got me into programming is learning c++ to make games. I started the summer after high school when i didn’t have any work left.

        But my programming skills became useful for my job though. If it’s not for you I get you would rather look for a job.

        Good luck with your work my friend.

          Thanks, my A plan is to get thru this hell. I’d only like a summer job. Still, I feel like I should be able to show something up. I started AoC 2023 back in december, day 13 bricked me, and I haven’t gotten a 2nd wind yet, and time is running out.

          If I can ask for advice… I heard with leetcode (I’m not doing it, just heard) that if I don’t know the solution for something in 30 minutes, I should look it up. Does this apply to AoC? As I remember spending 8 hours on these puzzles and feeling awesome when I finally came up with a solution that worked. But I’ve gave day 13 two afternoons and I still can’t figure it out. I have ideas, but it’ll take like a week to code and test all of them, chances are they won’t even work. I know that two half days since december isn’t very dedicated, but I don’t know where tf did these 3 months go, I actually can’t remember what happened in jan-feb lol.

          I downloaded a pdf to search for the british equivalent. closest thing is further education, “work-based” college, but I’m not at the part-time-work part yet.

          School system is so fucked can’t even translate it. Best I could get out of online translators is “technical college”. But the whole point is, that it’s not a college, idk.

            I get what you are saying, we have something similar here. But even then, the workload was never as big as it was for college/university.

            Good luck
