Am I wasting my time only taking one course per semester? I am

Shit or get off the pot.

So either pick up the pace or quit?

You could take some courses online. Getting a degree is better than not but if you could speed up the process it would be better

I do when I can thats when I can manage two courses per semester. I already have a masters but jesus government work is not rewarding

Currently it's really up to you if you're wasting time with your degree; is what you're getting out of it worth it? Will it be worth it in nine years? Compsci is a changing field, so somethings after nine years may be different.
I would say, get a student line of credit with a bank or a student loan, and work summers. Or take summer classes and work winters to avoid the competition of summer jobs. At least that way you can make some time.

I work full time 9 to five. Also f student loans. I guess what I'm saying is it worth getting into computers a decade from now? At least computer science route...like I wish I had more free time

i love how every jack and jill thinks they can be a cs major and then a programmer

Time restraint is real. I don't know what to tell you. I acknowledge it's hard but my issue is if it's worth doing at a snail pace. So far I've aced my calculus courses but jesus I can't see myself taking more than 6 credits a semester. I can't be like the freshmen taking 15 credits per because they live at home or whatever.

Right? Everyone fucking thinks it's "go to school, get job, make 100k"

No?

There is actually a long tradition of people doing it the very slow way. (During the 1930s Depression it was just about the only way anyone could go to college) And your worst case scenario probably won't happen - 6 years is more likely than 9, and the average full-timer now takes 5. (My university doesn't even keep 4-year-graduation records, so few do it that way)

Keep going. The satisfaction of the achievement will be enormous, and it will actually impress employers as evidence of your dedication and tenacity.

Pretty much what my friend tells me. Honestly if a career came out of this it would be metal but honestly it's more an interest thing. I just feel bad it's going to take so long
