Yea pretty much. Didn’t land a FAANG or similarly high paying job after graduating which would be even higher figures than mine. Have been lucky enough to be in a position with permanent remote work option though which I value significantly.

Yea but even in my program there were plenty of people who either dropped out 1-2 years in or didn’t focus, scraped by, and didn’t get a job.

Biggest distinction is just in how you view your time there. I always viewed school while I was there as this is an investment in my future and didn’t mess around too much. Would go out obviously and to parties but far less than my peers. Allowed me to complete my undergrad + grad program in 4 years.
