Just what I need to deal with, another clueless manager who thinks programming is that VB class they took their 3rd year of college.
>>3 speaks the truth only for those who enter programming for money. If you go into software dev't because you love software dev't, you can get a job quite easily (as long as you're willing to relocate).
I graduated with a 4 year degree in Computer Science and Engineering, dropped out of grad school after a coupla' years due to "out-of-money" syndrome, and got my entry-level job at well above the industry average salary for a recent grad
Of course, I like software dev't. I read technical books recreationally. If you aren't driven to the point of learning it on your own, save the world from another clueless codemonkey whose shiatty software I'll have to fix and go get an education degree instead.
