Hey Hassan, If you love what you are doing it is not hard work. I have been playing with computers for over 50 years. I went to university to study Computer Science because of my passion for all things computers. Although, I have climbed the corporate ladder from Jr. Programmer to now CTO, I am still write code and designing hardware. I believe people attend university to learn and if you love what you are doing then the jobs come naturally. It is great to hear you are learning and studying during this time off. This study and learning should not stop. At my stage in my career I am still learning. For example, I have been learning and doing things in RUST ... this language is very promising .... it seems to bring me back to why I love coding ... the demarcation where software meets hardware. But concurrently, I am also studying and playing with a bunch of other tech. Because building the "solution" for the business requires us to know all things computers. And as others have stated in this discussion .... University give us the disciple to address and find solutions to challenges. A friend said to me once ... at university we learn the scientific method. Good luck, The world has changed so much in the past fifty years and the next half a century will a lot fun too. (PS: to date, I am still applying what I have learned in university, physics, mathematics and CS to the solutions I create daily. So, it is not a waste of time. This comment is getting long and time to close off. If you are interested we can chat more)
It's great to see people from the industry share their insights and experience on this platform. For me, I give importance to both: Self-learning and the stuff that is taught in the university. I think a mixture of both is the best.
