I dont think your being arrogant but maybe just a little blinkered.
No matter what way you look at it, it's gonna be hard work but it has a saddistic type of pain attached to it.
Yes your eyes are about to drop out and your barain will topple but you just cant get enough of it because its leading you to the dream. I would do it all again to get to where i am and as a mate told me its will be worth all the ****e when you get there.
Good luck with your degree it certainly wont harm you in the getting an interview process and good luck with finding a job as that's really the hardest part.
