Hey man, I completely agree with your decision. College is a scam, the cost of attendance is insane. However, I think you should look into community college. There are many benefits and even programs that will pay for itself. I wish you the greatest of luck, you've helped me a ton throughout these few semesters at NJIT. Thanks man and good luck!

Lad I was there when you first started to randomly help people in the tutoring center and just bewildered by the scope of your knowledge, so you give me inspiration in my own future when I disagree with the institution and scam that is the college experience, and I hope you seriously have a future littered with success and achievements that only leave the ones behind you with a wall to break through.

I definitely agree with you on the whole debt issue. I wouldn't recommend going to a big uni without some hefty scholarships, so maybe try community college instead, since it's more affordable. Idk, really the only reason I go to NJIT is cause I got a 12k/yr scholarship, so each year is only 6k. Your freshman year alone gave you 24k in debt, while 24k is my amount for 4 years. That's crazy to think about, the system is really unfair. The only reason I got this was because I was lucky enough to go to a good high school with good teachers that helped me get really good grades, so I could get this scholarship. So I guess high school really does matter then, damn. If I was in your shoes I wouldn't have even gone to NJIT in the first place, I'd have gone somewhere else that gave a bigger scholarship, and if there's nowhere that gave you a big scholarship, to community college. Best wishes to you, you seem like a cool dude.

I still think you can still progress very well without college, in fact I think you should work on your educational youtube channel because it had so many helpful videos for people not just in NJIT, but people at other institutions. In fact, since many past and sample exams from many institutions are public, I think you can give your own spin on them. I found your interpretations so much easier to understand, so I hope you can use the internet to your advantage and educate people better than professors here at NJIT (and other universities) do. Best of luck, Marin!!!

I've found myself questioning this school as well since everything shifted online. There seems to be more of a focus on group work and powerpoint reading and less teaching. Lack of face-to-face interaction has made many professors take the easy way out, while they try and crack down on shit like groupme and coursehero.

Brave soul right here man I'm so sorry it had to come to this but you practically spoke about the real concerns of countless (hundreds upon hundreds) of NJIT students at this terribly run institution. Unfortunately, it arises from a resounding lack of leadership and backwards administration policies that act as barriers for their struggling, first-generation, low-income student population. It's not easy speaking your mind on a public forum like this especially your personal business, but to you and everyone who feels this way I want you to know you're not alone. I've met hundreds of students (some alumni, some not) that have ALL expressed the exact same concerns and challenges NJIT poses to us STEM majors/non-STEM majors alike trying to find a simple, straightforward pathway towards graduation without all these seemingly impossible hurdles and unnecessary obstacles this school puts in front of us. Just graduating from this school alone is an accomplishment because once you make it out of here, you never look back. I do still believe in college for the right people and majors. Me, being an engineering/physics major, I do believe college is the right course of action for me no matter how much it sucks at NJIT since I don't see any other way for me break into my field on an entry-level and prove I know something besides what this piece of paper says I can. I totally respect and understand your decision from one STEM major to another, but with federal student loan debt currently being on pause right now (with expectations for further future reduction/cancellation) I say try a new college since your grades are awesome! State schools and these "cheap" polytechnic institutions are all the same bro the teaching is subpar and the assignments/hw/tests/exams are all either irrelevant for true learning or simply based on an arbitrary performance metric to boost college ranking. Anyways bro I'm a Senior at NJIT now and hopefully graduating within the next year (2022) but I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors. I, like hundreds of others, can entirely relate to you and have all had to make this decision at multiple unfortunate lows in our college career with little to no support from NJIT. It's sad but this is the reality of it! Try software engineering/data science and focus on bootcamps & certs from online courses supplemented by your personal projects rather than a college degree which is being phased out in some fields and deemed more and more worthless these days. Wishing you the best!! :)

Honestly though look for certifications that are in your field, find a company that takes those certificates and that is in line with what you want to do in the future. You’ll probably start at a low position in the company however that doesn’t mean a low paying job. Also, most companies like this will also offer paid education where they’ll pay for your college while you continue to work there. I was considering a CAD certification to start making real steps into the architecture sector. The pay starts at 40k a year.

And worse sometimes people tell you that without a college degree you’re worth nothing which is a crazy wrong.

Your knowledge from youtube wont take you far in the engineering world. When a PE is required to grow in the field. The top Stem degrees require degrees

The world is not moving away from degrees, it has only gotten more competitive. There is no way a person who only learned their stuff from reading it online is going to be even considered over someone who has a degree. Especially in the fields NJIT is know for. Can you see anyone hiring a, let's say, Mechanical engineer who just learned everything online?
