It is definitely not worth it from almost any perspective I could think of. If you want to go further into Comp Sci, it would be much more valuable to simply apply for a master's degree in Comp Sci at Columbia or another school after taking whatever post-bac classes you might need to. If you nearly failed out of your computer science program and graduated by a thread while not learning anything, then yes, it may be worth it to apply for a MA, but if that were the case, I'm guessing you didn't do well enough to get accepted into Columbia. $130,000 is closer to $170k if you're paying your loans off at $1500/mo for 10 years! That's on top of losing any earning power you have for the 2 years it'll take you to finish on top of living costs. You're looking at closer to $300k in costs. The fact is that a BA in CS is not a bad degree to have in today's economy where there are tons of jobs for programmers. I think it would be wiser to spend 3-6 months building up a portfolio of apps and programs and training for interviews. You could even pay around 10k and do a coding bootcamp to learn more modern web development(I would recommend node.js) if you don't already know it.
The Big Bang Theory: The 'science' show. You can watch this show in your initial years of college. If you are a science major, you will definitely connect with it. Even if you are not , the show is still enjoyable and worth a watch. You will develop an instant liking to some characters in the show.Friends: The 'Life' Show. Watch it in your final or pre final year of college. You would have developed strong friendships and relationships by then. You will relate with it. The show will prepare you for the life outside college. It will give you a optimistic view about the world. And once if you watch it, I am sure you will rewatch it many times. That is the magic of Friends!If you are interested in detective and crime genre then BBC Sherlock is one of the best shows on television.Some other good shows are White Collar, Dexter, Game of Thrones.These are the shows I have watched.Some other shows suggested by my friends are Breaking Bad, Prison Break, Castle, Mentalist, Suits and How I met your mother.
For this answer I am going to take liberty and choose the celebrities who I grew up watching and idolizing. Yes, one male and one female.Okay the best looking male celebrity according to me, that graced the screen has to be Jean Claude Van Damme.I mean just look at this guy. He had the perfect looks for almost any kind of role. From medieval character to a modern businessman or an officer. His looks were a natural fit. Also, few people know that his performance Time Magazine named Jean-Claude’s performance in JCVD the second best of the year, after Heath Ledger’s The Joker in The Dark Knight. “He deserves not a black belt, but an Oscar.”His acting has been underrated because his physical aspect of life has been so huge in his lfe, even for himself to handle. Even, though he had been a 'bad boy', in my opinion he has of of the best personalities now in the Hollywood( if we can put aside the bipolarity existent in the world for a moment).For the females it has to be the young Winona RyderShe is the epitome of feminine looks.So, here we are back to the glorious and best 90’s era!Good day.Edit: Even though this question is about looks, but I just want to post this here as well. This is one of the greatest takes ever please take a look.Jean-Claude Van Damme Monologue From JCVD
I came into the world of computer science largely due to a (strong) want of improvising the standards of software I encountered. Today, I'm learning enough to rebuild a planet :)
