Would this really work?

Yes it would. People respect the self starter more than the lemming.

And if you have your own high quality blog detailing your experiences, showing off your projects, you're already light years ahead of your peers.

Bonus points: take out a student loan and use the money to study on your own.

Thing is, it's hard to stay motivated going the autodidact route. Lots of people need a teacher to assign them, and a teacher to stay on their back about completing assignments. If that's not you, good shit.

yeah being extremely qualified should be good

Isn't that excessive?

Depends if you're responsible or not.

It's bad if you're just going to use it and not do any self educating.

But if you're dedicating 8 hours a day to hard study and productivity. Hell yeah you deserve it and you're probably more efficient than you would be in a classroom.

Depends on where/when/who you are

Don't go to /g/ for career advice everyone here is completely retarded and in no way fit to give information on this topic.

Not the way he posted it. If you list that many terms without examples or concrete applications I don't even get to read your resumé because HR already threw it out
Nobody looks for 'Stochastic Processes' in your cv unless youre applying for a PhD position

I don't understand the "CS is a meme" meme that gets posted here. I have to fend of recruiters and headhunters every other week.

CS is a meme because you barely learn anything; not that there aren't any jobs.

>barely learn anything
When I started doing CS I didn't know how to program or how a computer worked or anything about algorithms.

During my bachelor's, I implemented an OS kernel for x86 with proper virtual memory support and an inode-based file system and I also implemented OSLR routing installed it on a bunch of WRT54G series routers and ran around in a parking lot and watched it route packets in a real MANET.

While I was doing my master's, I worked (full-time) as a programmer for a company that makes network monitoring probes for digital TV providers.

Last year I submitted a patch to the Linux kernel that modifies the TCP engine to allow bundling previously sent segments into new segments scheduled for retransmission as part of my work with my master thesis.

Currently, I'm involved in a project that drastically reduces the overhead of using remote compute resources in PCIe clusters and at the same time simplifies the programming model needed to use them.

What sane person would say that this counts as barely anything, unless you've spent too much time on /g/ and developed traits that demonstrates the Dunning-Kreuger effect?

This question is better asked in /r/cscareerquestions than on /g/.

[spoiler]just learn differential equations and you're done[/spoiler]

Probably, because that's basically saying you know everything
