Many of them claimed that, contrary to the students’ expectations, they were very interested in hiring someone who was aggressively self-educated. One from a large firm even offered to set me up with a job interview." scotthyoung.com/blog/2012/12/05/interview-method | |

| Dec 26, 2012 at 22:04 | comment | added | Nate | I was homeschooled up through (and including) high school. It worked very well for me; however, I would not recommend switching for your last year. It takes time and practice to do homeschooling well. There are lots of areas and ideologies in homeschooling and IMHO your last year of high school is not the place to experiment with it, it takes time to get it right and do it well. Especially if your main justification is you are wasting time in high school everyone feels that way! I also went to college for a computer science degree after high school. | |

| Dec 26, 2012 at 19:15 | comment | added | Trevor Powell | This really seems like a "personal advice" sort of question. How many people in the future are going to be searching for an Internet resource which will tell them whether or not dandami should finish high school? Probably better asked in chat, or on a discussion forum. There's no objective "expert knowledge" which can be archived for this question. | |

| Dec 26, 2012 at 2:41 | comment | added | dandami | I want to go to college and I want to get my high school degree and do my SATs but just not within the school system. While you say that there is a lot of knowledge and people with the same interests, that is just not happening where I go to school. One thing I forgot to say is that I live in Sweden, however I wanna move to America and that's possible, since my mom lives there. The school I am going to is the best english IT school in Stockholm, so it's not just my school. | |
| Dec 26, 2012 at 2:06 | comment | added | John Riselvato | What skills do you have in game development? Do you apps out, are you making money off your skills, or are you just starting off and have high hopes for game development. Programming is one thing, game development is another thing. | |
