ITT post your major and state and I will tell you whether you can get a job

[Jeep01]

Mechanical Engineering, Michigan

Want to be in the automotive industry.

[yyouttoo]

Chemical Engineering with focus on petroleum, AZ. I wanna move to Alaska though. Texas is okay too I guess, I have family there.

[WileyKat]

dont like nursing...i just want my 2-3 years of clinical experience and get into healthcare informatics

Get into Big Data, thats where all the money is right now. Or Genetics.

[GoodShit]

Yes

How important is knowing a programming language throughout CS? And are you better off becoming advanced in one language or knowledgeable in many, job-seeking wise?

What year in college did you learn a language? Is not knowing one before sophomore year pointless to continue that degree?

Is your current job strictly programming, and how is it financially? Seeing how programming seems to be extremely competitive under the threat of outsourcing.

Thanks.

You will make good money, roughly out of school $75,000. But be prepared to live outside in the wild with little contact with people and civilization. Could be stressful if you have a family and kids.

[Azrairc]

Major: writing

State: Moving to Mississippi

[isawthesign]

you never did me op

B.S. Applied Mathematics (conentration: programming)
B.A. Economics
Minor: computer science

WASHINGTON DC

[CoastTrash]

Geography, Mississippi

[Mav3535]

As I said Bio alone = Starbucks Barista

Bio with Medschool is a better option.

Lmao @ strong knowledge of biology job prospects

Going to grad school, working an internship and then getting a job with a life sciences company or applying to the FBI or CIA b/c I have a STEM degree, suck on that for a second

[RScary15]

Nursing, Texas

[Nathan17]

Criminal Justice

Texas

[RealAesthetic]

Web Interface Design / Graphic Design

Ontario, Canada

[yyouttoo]

But be prepared to live outside in the wild with little contact with people and civilization.

This is seriously my dream come true. I want to get a secluded cabin out in the middle of nowhere in Alaska. Make a home gym and just become lumberjack mode.

[MVHagey]

Geology, Pennsylvania

[TallJJ]

What languages do you know? What applications have you built?

If neither your looking at around $40,000 as an entry level QA guy.

Wut? How can he be a CS major and not know any languages?

This lol and my state is actually Dutch. But I am interested in what I could earn in the US. Might attempt to do an internship or thesis in the US.

Advanced: Java, Pascal, Android
Intermediate: C#, C++, PHP, SQL, HTML5, Javascript

I am aware some are not really programming languages. I will expand my knowledge to C and iOS this summer, perhaps earlier depending on how busy my next semester will be.

EDIT: Oh yeah and what I've built? A lot of Android apps, small to big java applications, a few websites. Made a clone of the Google Playstore this semester using Java/SQL/Servlets with an API, Android app, consumer website and administrator panel. That was together with 15 other people though, but it does work pretty well. My university will probably use it for students to upload their apps!

EDIT II: Any idea if you get paid during an internship in the US? Here in NL you usually don't get paid. I can fund a trip to the US for a few months but if I could actually break even I will definately consider it.

Programing is the single best skill you can get in the world right now....period. But do not be fooled, you have to be good at what you do and have to be good in logical thinking as you will be responsible to create and design new programs. I left school in my last year before coming back at age 29 to finish my degree. I learned PHP, .NET, Objective-C, Android like the back of my hand and built some cool apps and applications. That got me noticed I started making more money then almost my entire EE + CE graduating class because I wasnt going to stand for the bull**** the UC system puts their students through. I.E. get a degree and pay 25,000 a semester. THESE KIDS HAVE NO JOBS!

Dont worry about outsourcing, US employers want smart people who can code, not dimwitted indians with no people skills.

[bealsjt]

Economics, colorado

[PieceByPiece]

Chemical Engineering
California (Cal student also!)

[depression1brah]

OP what do you have to say about nearly all the people I know that graduated out of my uni with an EE degree have a decent job now?


Seems like you are wanking over your Software engineering/CS degree and ****ting on all the other majors.

[ARhymingApe]

The market is flooded with Economics people, finance is hard to get in, your looking at around a year with no job and maybe $35,000 if your lucky to get an internship somewhere. Get into accounting and become a CPA.

Lmaooo jakes on you I'm doing an internship right now for a Fortune 20 financial company that is already paying me more than that. As an intern.

Cool I did a similar project with Ruby on Rails, I built a twitter + ******** clone with full functionality. Your on the right track, dont know what the dutch market is like. But you can make good cheese as a Android programmer. How is your Objective-C?

Do you have experience with Data structures?

That doesn't make sense because he just said CS degrees are the biggest waste of time (lol)

LOL do you actually use data structures like a stack, queue, binary search trees, heaps and **** in real life?

Surprise, op can't even spell properly, do you expect him to have knowledge of job outlooks in 50 states?

I am not trying to be cocky, I am giving my observations living in California. I am just saying EE is on the decline, and jobs are going down while Software is blowing up. Sure you can get a good EE job, and I had one in VLSI design but was frustrated with low pay and long hours. Software is ten times better than EE hands down.
