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?

But he said he ``plans on taking an emphasis on software engineering'', so probably choosing computer science as his major wasn't a very bright idea.
how is this a bad choice? software engineering is a subset of computer science.

If he's willing to go for a job that counts a `certification' as an advantage, he is either naïve or in it for the money that he will never see.
QFT.
Certs aren't really important when it comes to programming positions (assuming OP plans on programming since he chose comp sci). However, DBAs and Sysadmins could benefit from certain certs (which are also valid career paths for a comp sci grad)
