Hello guys!
I will be writing a short ebook (~50 pages) that will be a good general read on the college experience and how to navigate it for CS majors specifically. I want to frame this book by using what I've observed in my experience from starting at a no-name state school to transferring to a top 10 cs school and how it affects potential "success" and happiness in the short and long term. I've seen people achieve greater heights than me in CS and I've seen some drop out of school completely at both the top CS school and state school which is why I want to share some of the variables that can determine why some in CS get drastically different outcomes and some of the anecdotes about people in these different outcomes. Again, the main focus will be for people to read the book and decide what is going to give them a happy, fulfilling college experience, not to sacrifice health/happiness for success.
I feel like on r/cscareerquestions and YouTube, the advice is always too extreme and focuses too much on the peaks and valleys. I want to focus on helping the average CS student.
