Is it too late to go to college after college?

Question

IT education

Hello)
I am currently in college, in my second year. I have already clearly defined for myself that I will receive a higher education, but the fact that after graduating from the university I will be 24 years old (25 if the army) simply haunts me. At the age of 25, leaving without work experience or as a junior is such a prospect (maybe it seems to me, I will be glad if you convince me). Yes, I plan to combine my studies with work, and in principle, already from the first year of university, I should already be ready to look for a job as a java-junior (considering that I’m already starting to delve into Java, I learned php before, I freelanced for several months). Let's say I worked for 2 years and I'm already at the middle level. But who would hire a middle for a part-time job (again, maybe I'm wrong)? Not everyone accepts juniors... And it turns out that after the university I will enter the market as a middle with 4 years of experience as a junior (considering that no one will take a middle for an incomplete day). For 24-25 years old, yes, being middle can still be called acceptable, but it still seems that I will lose a lot of time.
In general, the essence of the question is that I would like to read your opinions about whether it is normal to just start working normally by the age of 25, and whether there are any ways to get a full-time job without risking your studies (I heard about the correspondence department , read, it's different for everyone.I don't think I can take exams without preparation, but if someone has experience, it will be very interesting to read your story)?
PS I'm worried about time, because. under 30 years old, I would like to have time to try (?) to emigrate to Canada under the program of qualified specialists, or to a country in Europe (up to 29 years old, additional points are awarded).

Answer 1

At the age of 25, leaving without work experience or a junior is such a prospect

And what is wrong? Ambitions are tight?) As they have already said, it is never too late to learn.
On June's salary. Taking a part-time jun when the horde is at the door is a stupid idea. Therefore, you need to be of value already in order for the game to be worth the candle.
You won’t fit into any Scrum with such a routine, so it will be unrealistic to get into a normal team. If you focus on work, then full-time study will definitely suffer from combining. As a result: you won’t work normally, you won’t learn. Therefore, I advise you to think about full-fledged work having crossed at least the "equator", when you can separate the wheat from the chaff and set priorities.

Answer 2

1) It's never too late to learn.
2) Live a century, learn a century - and you will die a Fool)

Answer 3

Pfff, you won’t even leave the institute as a junior if you don’t get additional skills on your own.
Yes, and now in my third year the learning process is so set up that we teach web technologies and programming in general in courses ourselves and simply pass tests.

Answer 4

I think the question should be put like this: who will support you until the age of 30?
If the parents do not leave the child, study full-time at a university, but you risk so attached to your parents (get used to a freebie) that you will live with them until retirement.
Your option, IMHO, is to go to work after college, after you find a normal stable income on which you can live on your own, you can go to a university in absentia, if by that time there is still a desire.
It is normal to study full-time / evening and work is very difficult, not many people can withstand this regime for 3-5 years.
Often people come to the conclusion that the tower is not needed at all.

Answer 5

You can take part-time (evening) form of education. I myself graduated from college, went to the army, and now I am a 1st year student at MEPhI, while working as a full-time c ++ developer (well, except sometimes I leave early for classes, but I disappear for a session). It is quite difficult to combine, but if you wish, everything will work out, the program is easier than that of the diaries.
By the way, MEPhI is one of the top universities in the Russian Federation, while it is quite easy to enter there after college, and my tuition fee is only 36 thousand rubles.

Answer 6

If I were you, I would ask myself a few questions. First, do you need a higher education at all? Given the level of training in a typical university, the output you usually get: a general understanding of PC architecture, some knowledge of networking, building systems, design, some programming and no knowledge of specific technologies and practices that are needed at work. Secondly, if you still need it, then think about the zaochka. As a rule, you need to be quite a tree to screw it up, because the teachers underestimate the requirements for correspondence students. And advice: be more skeptical about the concepts of junior / middle. It is not juniors and middles who get the job, but people who have knowledge in some kind of stack. Monitor the vacancies you like, look at the requirements and work on yourself in this direction. Good luck!

Answer 7

Nobody can say for sure. But one thing I know for sure - anything is possible. Depends on your motivation. I knew a programmer who at the university also managed to work in parallel and receive at least 50 thousand (that was until 2014, if so, you can multiply by 2 to get a modern figure). It is clear that not all couples attended. But experience gained.

Answer 8

Consider distance learning.

Answer 9

Question in a million: Why a university? to get a diploma for emigration? In this case, evening or correspondence. If it is not needed, then it is better to take courses on the course and all that.
Well, look at the vacancies, requirements.
