other people's opinions don't matter. none of them were there in your shoes looking through your eyes to weigh it up
this whole thing about "getting an education" has turned out to be a flagrant scam just like "investing in real estate" - promoted by banks to skim a huge margin off all the dupes that fell for it.
you'd be in no better financial position, after all the debt it would have laid on you. and as you know, in tech, it's experience and confidence that matters. these pieces of paper, the employers know they are being printed like fiat currency.
i worked with a CS graduate last year. i really wondered, what it was they actually taught him at UC Berkeley, that he couldn't have acquired from an internship. i had to explain so many things to him about computer science and software engineering.
