Computer Science major

Hi /prog/. What kind of job could I get with good grades, a master's in CS and some experience interning? I'm currently majoring in computer engineering but I'm thinking about switching to CS, and my school has a 5 year CS bachelor's + master's program. I keep hearing that it's getting harder to find computer science jobs, would that be a problem?

And sorry, I know that this is a little off-topic, but I figure that a lot of you probably have jobs in computer-related fields.

Thanks.

people who get into CS for a steady paycheck invariably end up being sys admins. pepole who get into CS because they love it, are fascinated by it and would do it for free if no hired them are the ones who get the big paying positions. if you think your masters degree garantees you a lead position in a software company, be propared to have some self-taught geek make you his bitch codemonkey

That's pretty much me. I keep hearing that it's easy to get CE jobs, I just think I would like CS better. I just started college, and I've already been doing a lot of coding on my own.

You will suck dick for heroin.
Like me.

Everyone I knew that majored in CE gave up trying to find a non-codemonkey job after 6 months of searching.

the jokes on you, playing office politics in the CS field doesnt get you anywhere. even codemonkeys can assrape their supervisor if their supervisor just another middle management "expert" with a degree trying to make his development team fall into line with current software doctrine.

You appear to have left out several words from your discourse. Please fix your spelling before attempting to state your point again.

How?

>>1
good grades
lol grades.

True story, I have a friend that works at a moderately large development company. Every engineer he's shown my resume to has asked why I'm not already working there.

I was rejected in 20 seconds flat by their HR due to my GPA.

>How?

you just dont get it. Take Larry Wall for example, he was a lowly sys admin who created a programming language simply to help him do sys admin tasks better. this has nothing to do with "moving up" in a job position, he simply became an overnight hero in the CS community. Thats how CS works, if you cant keep up, then get out

Then everyone you know sucks.

I got my MSCE and got an awesome job right out of school.  Silicon Valley, good pay, good stock options.  And this was in 2001, which was a horrible time to be looking for work in Silicon Valley.

MSCE
3.5/10, maybe 3.7/10

>>10
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE

Ok, mister.  How does a codemonkey "assrape" his supervisor or whatever the hell you were going on about in >>6 ?  Your story of Larry Wall did not move or inform me in this regard.

>>11
Wrong coast.

>>12
How is MSCE a troll?

>>13
a degree doesnt mean much in CS, I had a professor who taught a Perl class in community college who had a CS/EE degree from Berkeley and a day job as a sys admin. obviously he didnt have what it takes to go anywhere in the tech industry. people who make it in the tech industry are driven to do so, dont expect a piece of paper you received from a university to do anything for you

>>15
How is it not? Clearly         IHBT        .

>>16
I already knew that, fellow!  And I have never thought anything about pieces of paper, and I can't see anything in my "How?" that would imply I thought anything about uni/college edumucation.  So where is this "assraping" that you have yet to explain?
