asgs112758yJust sit tight and finish that last one paper. Then, you are off to being completely free!

Well I'm in EXTC and feel the same, and still unclear about complete programming or complete electronics or mix of both, hopefully will find something as well
Good luck bro 👍👍 -
f03n1x65038yI went through sorta the same thing, though it was more of a my first choice for degrees at university was mechanical engineering. I finished it but was not happy at all with the amount of failed papers I had.
Throughout my time doing that degree I always wanted to make a game but never knew where exactly to start.
So when I was done with the degree I went ahead and signed up for BCIS and to my surprise I got in straight away. I found out we we're learning java so I did a week's worth of tutorials before starting and we'll the rest is history.
In saying that I'm at the point of working 9-5, which like you I don't enjoy, the more annoying thing is I have to get up at 5am to be at work around 7:50ish because of how far I live.
Anyways my real plan later on is to start my own game development company, and I guess until then I'll put in the time to finish and release my first game so I can officially start.
All the best bro, don't give up! I did exams for papers I hate too! -
Just push through it and finish. You'll thank yourself in 10 years. Take it from me.

I'm thinking of writting off 4 years of my life i.e 2011 - 2015 i.e my college life. The baggages from that period is the biggest distraction in my life.
I made some bad choices and chose a stream that i eventually lost interest in, while on the other hand, i found my interest in programming. It was too late for me when i find my interest.
When my course completed, i had nothing to brag or be proud about but over 15 backpapers.
Two years since then the count of my back papers is down to 1.
Having to study for these failed exams on subjects i don't care anymore makes me hate myself.
But, I'm just 1 exam away from this stupid degree.
2 uses that i see in this degree:
- can confidently add in my resume that i graduated college.
- parents can be "proud" i finally have a degree and increase my chances in finding a match in matrimony. :/
However, these 2 advantages don't align with the life i vision. I don't want to live 9 to 5 work life, I'd rather be self employed in some way.
If i don't make it in the next exam, I'm gonna write it off. I might have to live with strained relationship with my parents and relatives after that.. :/
