Should I finish my non tech degree?
For the past two years, I've been working as a full-stack developer at a startup, a role I began after completing a coding bootcamp. I'm feeling burnt out and the startup is slowly running out of runway, but I still feel passionate about coding! I'm contemplating quitting my job to return to school this winter semester (January to April), which would enable me to complete the final year of my biology degree. This seems like a short-lived opportunity, since I'm 24 and living at home, which will not be the case for much longer.
Given my two years of experience, I'm wondering if adding a biology degree to my resume will enhance my job prospects in big tech. Will this degree offer additional advantages in my future career search? I'm trying to set myself up for success in the long run and Im trying to assess if its worth it since I am still living at home
