what about the studies themselves? From what I read here, most don't seem to have too much appreciation towards them.

This is my fear exactly. To my understanding life has got its own tendency to unfold. The older you are, the more distractions you have. Chances are slimier to finish a degree in a well known \ respected university. This is my fear.

Thank you, your response means a lot to me. Do you think the figures I talked about are exaggerated?

In other words, my fellow developers... keep on the good work, help build a strong community, Facebook sure isn't.
