Reminds me of a quote from a networking textbook back in school:
"Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station-wagon full of tapes hurling down the highway.."
So in this case: "Never underestimate the bandwidth of a flatbed loaded with a datacenter hurling down the highway"
So Bill Gates donates $20m to some charity, that's approx.6% of his total net worth (as in less than 1%) I donate $100 which at any given time is about 2.1% of my total net worth.
Who has sacrificed more for the good of humanity??
Better advise, get a real job after the first year of your basic classes. Either a low level programmer or at a help desk at a small local company. Then work around your classes or take 3/4 load. After the first month at your "real" job you will be practically TEACHING the CS Classes you are taking.
Sure, with the 3/4 load, it may take 5 years vs. 4 years, but while all the 4 year grads are out scraping for low level jobs and making peanuts, you will hit the ground running after graduation as either highly paid consultant or at least a high level programmer.
