Yesterday I was forced to withdraw from a discrete mathematics course I was taking at a local university while working full time as a Software Dev at a demanding startup.
This is very discouraging, as I had been taking two courses (discrete math and calculus I) as a non-matriculated student to attempt to apply to graduate programs in the future. I am concerned that this withdrawal, coupled with my relatively lackluster performance in a non-technical degree will only damage my chances further.
Is my best option at this juncture to forgo school and just focus on experience? Or would reducing my work to part time to have more bandwith for school be a viable option?
I am trying to improve my mathematical background to have a chance at working more in the domain of ML in the future. Does anyone here have experience building their mathematical background while working full time?
Thanks
