Being a comp sci student this thought of "completion of courses" and "gaining certificates" as quickly as possible had always made me go into panic. There are people who have done exceptionally well in this case, just after getting into a college and from the beginning, started joining numerous courses and completed in due time. But I guess that's not an easy task and definitely many people get stuck into that. Everyone is well aware about the population and the competition the world is having. Everyone wants to learn and work their ass off to be in the league. But that's what is also deviating the individual from its destination! The world is harsh and there is no denial to the fact that if you are not strong enough, you'll be kicked out from it.The topic has been deviated now but these facts are needed to be mentioned. The courses are meant to teach people the topic, its real life implementation (tbh they haven't changed), what has changed is our thoughts on that. Being from a country with second largest population, I can say that it's real tough to get into that "league" and due to the same reason people instead of getting the knowledge, they try to somehow complete the course and receive the certificates as early as they can, so that they can share it to platforms like #Linkedin and others. I am not saying you shouldn't do that, nor you shouldn't post that certificate on such platforms. Completion of any course is never less than an achievement, so you must cherish and celebrate it! But that's only when you get the knowledge and can implement on your own in your real life. You won't feel hesitated to share the fact that you have learnt and achieved something on any platform. And if you share it just for the sake of sharing a certificate with a feel of increasing your employability? Believe me you'll be distressed and feel the pressure. The moment you won't be able to answer the question correctly, your confidence will be lost in a matter of seconds and you'll start blaming yourself for the same. So, don't worry if you are thinking that this is your last chance, then you wouldn't have been eating those tasty chicken fries and delicious burgers from #KFC, just give yourself some time to learn. The most important thing I wanted to mention is that, there will be your time, sometimes it comes early and sometimes it takes some time, so rather having negative thoughts roaming on your mind, if you are really interested in a course, you take and learn the real knowledge delivered from it, then that certificate is really what you cherish.
