One of my cousins has got this gyaan from youtube influencers that whatever we learn in BTech is of no use and doing BTech in Computer Science is a pure waste of time as jobs are given primarily based upon the skills we possess as a developer and not based upon our degree.
Getting influenced by this, he has made up his mind to withdraw his admission even though he has completed 4 semesters of his BTech.
He is of the firm opinion that he cannot pursue both college and work on his dev skills at the same time. And the 2 years which he will save by not completing his degree, he can utilise it well to get a job and reach far better places in his career as a software engineer.
My uncle and aunt are worried and have asked me to make him understand what he is doing is incorrect. Please post in comments guys what is your view on this. Also I feel the influencers just for the sake of YT views are manipulating gullible kids.
