Is it worth it to quit boring studies and go to work?

Question

IT education

I'll try to be brief: I
left school after the 9th. Prior to that, I was interested in coding and already knew how to use C#/WinForms.
Entered a technical school with a degree in Information Systems. For a year and a half, I still improved my knowledge quite well
. Now I realized that such a study, with a bunch of dull and unnecessary subjects, and programming lessons, which teach what I knew back in the 7th grade, is not something worth wasting time on.
I have not yet left their technical school, but I really want to.
Hence the question: does it make sense to quit technical school, spend some time to improve knowledge (Already acquired CLR via C #, my hands itch). And try to find a job, having no work experience and showing your modest portfolio, consisting of homemade products made for yourself, or is it still worth suffering for 2 years before graduating from a technical school?
PS Simply, I already understood that the technical school will not give me anything, I already roughly understand what is happening and how. I looked at the requirements for a C# junior - I either already know everything that is there, or I can pull up / study it myself without any problems.

Answer 1

and unnecessary items

this is your opinion, maybe they are needed, but it is not obvious to you yet. Give me a list.
if you started, it’s already worth bringing to paper. Half the way. There are rare, but still, cases when it turns out to be convenient. So what would be necessary - I did not meet, but it happens to be convenient.
Maybe it's worth going to correspondence?

Answer 2

The habit of throwing something without finishing it will not help you in life.

Answer 3

You seem to have already made a decision, just looking for support :)
In fact: higher than average education is not required to work as a programmer, but without it you will reach your qualification ceiling in 3 years, because you will have to compete with graduates of top universities. Therefore, you need to study on your own, and much more intensively. To do this, you should choose some distant, at first glance, unattainable goal and go towards it. For me, the ShAD became such a goal, I am satisfied with the result of 5 years of work, I will look for a new one :)

Answer 4

Alternatively, you can find a job, and in college go to free attendance. In the college where I studied, there was such an opportunity. In fact, something like a zachka. All that will be required of you is to pass control and term papers. And do not forget about the most important quest of the technical school - a diploma. This is a great opportunity to write your own project, which will not (be) embarrassing to add to the portfolio.
And what about the army? After all, leaving college, you become a conscript. The delay is gone.

Answer 5

Is it necessary to leave? Take it to study, do a minimum program to get a crust and learn the language you want yourself. And build up a portfolio, try to get a job and TD.

Answer 6

I'm in a similar situation right now, but in my 3rd year at uni. I don’t go there at all, once every half a year I take bribes for a session and that’s all) I would have completed my studies on yours, I would just score on it, doing a minimum program so that I would not be expelled and would do what interests me at home. Because half the way passed + money spent. A diploma can be useful for immigration, some programs require a mandatory diploma or give a lot of points for it.

Answer 7

It all depends on you ... If you want to become an "office plankton", "code-monkey", then forget about SELF-EDUCATION (university has nothing to do with it at all), if not, then you have 2 more years to get related skills - the ability to communicate, sell, the basics of the economy, find out what users (and not the owner of the company) need.

Answer 8

Do not leave the techie - there are girls. While bored, deal with girls (because then you can become a nerd and no girls)
