[jbluzb86]

I'm here in Aklan and I have just started using ubuntu 5.10 last April. It's my first linux distro. I see the most of pinoy users here are actually IT graduates or about Computer and other related stuff. I'm a psychology student,hehehehe
I am just interested in trying new things and knowing what all the the buzz around linux and about "free software."
Take care everyone.........

I'm not yet a grad, I'm in constant conflict between my uberly passionate and overflowing interest in Linux and finishing college. Sometimes, my school suffer. Do you have any advice on how to change my views on school? blech..

A lot of people in the development team have post-graduate degrees or are currently taking one. Maybe that should give you a wake up call that school still matters most.

If there comes a time that you have no access to a computer. The other skills you learn in school will be useful.

i dont know how it works in wherever you live, but where im from, if you dont finish college you most likely are not going to be working any good jobs. i know that was a a generalization, but completing your college education is incredibly important if you want to begin a solid career, ESPECIALLY in computing. so far ive worked at four different companies (3 while in college, just started one after i graduated) and not one of those companies would even consider hiring someone who hasnt graduated college.

i know people at several different companies that are considered "hiring managers," meaning they pick who comes into their deparments or groups. none of those managers would interview a non-college educated person. my father is one, and he doesnt even read resumes/CVs of people that dont have a college degree listed on there.

i encourage everyone to do what they want to do with thier life, its yours. if you want to get a college education, i urge you to pursue it and put everything you have into it. it is incredibly valuable.
