Not yet, you need to do an internship for ages to get the job I want, so working on smaller projects with mates is the only way.
Yeah, I went freelance for a few years. Specialised in designing and writing software and small apps for the building industry.
Cool, when did you do that? There's a lot more money nowadays in programming. I really want to go into game programming, but you either need £10000s or get a job in an established company, and with no experience it's ****ed. Doing a few websites at the mo with mates with the aim of starting a small company soon, but managing computer geeks is a problematic task <ADDalert>
Still shouldn't be using wiki, and i doubt altering a football player's height on the site is going to contribute to failed degrees in all fairness. If the poncy essays statement was a swipe at me then I suggst you attempt a degree in Business Economics and actuarial studies. advanced calculus <shudders>
It wasn't a swipe at you, it was a swipe at ****ty degrees I did Business studies for a couple of years, and the accounting part of it isn't cool, nor are loads of the maths involved.
Back in the early 90s. Had an epiphany in the mid-90s and left the business, became a hippy and didn't look at a computer for about three years. Did a degree in Environmental Biology and now spend most of my time sitting in front of a computer
You sure you need to do all that intrnship balls? Programming is the only grad employment sector booming.
Yea but there's boring programming and interesting programming, I can't be bothered to spend my life doing the boring stuff, not worth it
Ah true, a load of mates who did computer science are all with the same company doing databases, lets just say the world of work is not as fun as they had initially anticipated
My older brother did something pretty similar back then. He got a first in CS at Bristol, got a job, but then had a weird change of heart and went travelling round the world. It took him years to get back into it, he was even a bike courrier for a while.
I lived in a tree for a while It was during the M77 protests in Pollok on the outskirts of Glasgow. Those were good days!
