Comment on Ask HN: Should I drop out of my second bachelors?

Comments

Others already commented on the whole idea, but I wanted to add:

I currently have one app in the app store and I'm active in open-source, however I still feel a little too green to start applying yet.

So here's the reality: a lot of people who apply for jobs the first time don't know how to program, they don't know what opensource is, could not create and publish an app to save their lives, and definitely don't have experience collaborating with others. Compared to many people applying for their first programming job, you're overqualified. You can likely find a job that's not at entry level at this point - just present your skills and current OS contributions.
