This is a tricky question for me...

It depends on the day really... Some days when everything works out, I feel good. Other days it goes wrong and I feel like the lowest guy ever.

I said average, but it might be a bit of an overstatement, as I don't even really went to college yet ( life is being a bit of a b*tch right now, Portugal isn't doin' much better either )

It's not like I'm dumb or anything, I get a project proposal I design the DB, then code the application. But I feel like I'm missing so much "information" that it hinders me from getting into the next level.


I remember taking a few lessons from Stanford University Online Courses, about database and they started with algebra. I remember loving it, the way the logic was laid out, the way it got more challenging each day. Unfortunatly I stopped having the time for it, but it kind of made the feeling that I was missing something even worse.


What about you guys? How many of went to take a degree, and how many think that the information you got there is vital for what your job is right now?
