Correspondence or full-time (applied computer science)?

Good morning/afternoon/evening!
I am 17 years old (I am in the 10th grade) and the question of higher education has long been standing.
And I have a dream to move abroad (USA, Norway, etc.)
To achieve my goal, I need to get an education (with a higher one there is a higher chance of accepting applications), but having a good portfolio is even more appreciated. It would be possible not to go anywhere and just work after school, but they can take away the army (and if 'checked for sores', then when the money will appear for this).
There is an option to get full-time, but here I see disadvantages for myself: it is
difficult to combine study, self-education (create your own projects), part-time work (freelancing (you will need to pay for housing)) and personal life.
But a big plus is a lot of useful theory theory (part of which, however, may not be useful)
Points pros: Freer schedule, you can build your day much easier than with points. With discipline, you can combine freelancing, self-education, personal life and getting a diploma. + More time to fill portfolio with your work and more chance to work abroad
Cons: In the future, lack of some fundamental theory, they may not be hired abroad.
Could you advise me what to do, or write what other advantages you see in full-time or part-time for a programmer.
Now I'm studying and at the same time earning a little on freelance (I write parsers in python, bots and do other work with api)
Thank you very much

Full-time or part-time education, even in the best State. The institute will give you the basics, no one will tell you in depth, because there is an established plan according to which they teach, if you want to know in depth, then you need to study it yourself. It is better to study on real problems, as an option to go for part-time, but after 1-2 courses at the institute, when the specials begin. subjects, and get a job at an IT Junior Developer company and learn from real jobs. also learn eng. language, at least at the Intermediate level. after already thinking about moving.

I recommend you get an education in Europe (which is much easier) or in the USA. This will solve all your problems one at a time: you will leave Russia, and you will receive an education in a normal environment, and you can really spend time studying, and you are guaranteed to find a job. In fact, it is quite easy to enter European institutions, you can also receive a scholarship + it usually costs nothing, i.e. education is free. Of course, you need to know English and pass the appropriate tests (including in English). In some countries, undergraduate studies are only in their native language, so you may have to go to language courses for applicants first (but this is not free).
PS
Well, here I hear the opinion of couch analysts that there are already a lot of programmers and they are not in demand. This, of course, is fundamentally wrong, just look at the market, or talk to people from these countries.
PPS
By the way, the US and Norway should not be compared. These are very different countries both in terms of the organization of society, and in terms of mentality, and in terms of wages for programmers, and in terms of the number of vacancies. If you are not a fan of socialism, then the US wins a lot on all other counts.

but they can take the army

Only PERSONAL gives a respite from the army, correspondence or evening will not suit you. And besides, on-site there will be communication with classmates, new connections that will help you possibly achieve something))

In the future, the lack of some fundamental theory

Rave. The main difference between points and zaochka is that on the zaochka you look for all the information on the subjects yourself. You can gain fundamental knowledge yourself by reading the relevant literature. In other words, self-education. All that is required of you is to close the session twice a year and move on to the next course. And so 4 years. The final quest will be a diploma (which I recommend starting to write at least a year before passing). Everything! Congratulations, you've graduated from high school.
Only by enrolling in the full-time department, you will be granted a deferral from service. Having enrolled in absentia and upon reaching the age of 18, the military registration and enlistment office will begin recruiting activities for you.
I myself personally see three options here:
1) apply for a point and postpone the issue of the army for 4-5 years. (during this time, find non-draft diseases, obtain the relevant medical documents and wait for a medical examination at the military registration and enlistment office).
2) already now go and be examined for the presence of non-draft diseases. You can do this in your clinic with your doctor (therapist). And with their presence and 100% certainty that you will not be called to wait for a medical examination at the age of 18.
3) go to the army at the age of 18.

Didn't find what you were looking for?
