OK, so it seems like you've found a good set of friends, which is good, but I'm still not sure that you experienced the full extent of the socialization that college offers. But, it's OK if you didn't, it is a high price to pay just to learn how to live with people. You'll be learning that anyway (or probably already have given the way you're travelling). So my view on the CS degree was that you should have gotten it, not to get a stable job, but to make it easier to get ANY job that you're trying to get. I didn't say to accept the linear path, I just said that if you had a CS degree, it would be much easier to get hired, no matter where you go. And if you state what you're trying to do, there are some companies that will respect that. I interned for 3 months at a company before going to japan (a large one, at that), and they kept me on for the entire year while I was in japan, I worked from home for essentially an entire year. If they can do that for an intern, they can do way more for you, who has a good portfolio. Also, how is your knowledge of CS theory? You're probably not going to run into automata theory working on simple websites, but it's kind something people expect you to at least have seen/know about. Your staying plan does sound way cheaper, so that's awesome, sounds like you're gonna have a lot of great experiences under your belt. At this point, I think you're pretty much set in what you're going to do though, and it seems like a great plan, with some luck |
