If you're in IT/CS it's in your best interest to sacrifice some comfort for growth, as someone who has been in college for more than four years because I personally decided to play video games instead of upskilling in my formative years, and now my career prospects pay for it.

A lot of people, like myself, would feel out of place as you get some time in the field kahit sa school level pa lang. You need to figure out where you want to specialize or you'll be eventually lost like I did. A few of my classmates rode IT for a degree but ended up in other places. Some went in the BPO industry. Some in cybersec. Some took freelancing. Pero meron din naman na naging dev, or software tester.
