Entry Level Jobs

Sup /prog/,

I recently changed my major to comp sci, and plan on taking an emphasis on software engineering. Right now my only problem is having a job while going to school, in that all jobs I can find suck, at least with my resume. Are there any certifications/training I could get that is relative quick to get (i.e. not the BSc I'm going for) that would help tremendously in getting a job somewhere close to related to my field of study?

essentially, yes.

now, i'm not saying that every parfume manufacturer hires a team of hot-shot chemists, but yes, it does take some sort of know-how to get all that shit together to produce a fragrance. much in the same manner that it requires some know-how when designing and engineering an application.

at the same time, not all parfumists are chemists and not all software engineers are computer scientists. my original statement of ``software engineering is a subset of computer science" is based on the "lineage" of software engineering.

software engineering was birthed from programming, programming was birthed from computer science, comp sci was birthed from applied math.

are all computer scientists considered mathematicians? are all software engineers considered computer scientists? fuck no. but software engineering is a subset of comp sci just like comp sci is a subset of math.

not to mention, accredited universities offer comp sci degrees with ``an emphasis on software engineering" as OP stated (my own university added this curriculum 2 years ago).
