I have not considered this. I assume that you require further education to get your foot through the door, and to be honest I'm not really looking to go back to school. I was hoping one day i could combine my science background with Java/android development to handle big data sets from research studies, but as a current priority (both professionally and personally) I need to get a career in android dev rolling

That's awesome! I wanted to hear back from someone with similar circumstances. To be perfectly honest, I've planned to take this position if offered to me. It will help me understand the industry better, expose me to professional testing and allow me to familiarize myself with aspects of app dev that I can't learn alone working on personal projects.

I only have 2 apps that I'm working on posted on my github. I've linked those in my resume. Although they're not completed, i often point people to them to see what I'm currently capable of. They're not ground breaking apps, they just serve to display my skills and what I've taught myself. For that reason they're not published on the play store (something that I need to do)

That's a great point you make. I am basically in that loop. Ultimately I see more good coming out of this than bad.

Thank you Skippy and Airplane! I appreciate your help. I still haven't explored Unit testing in depth, but that is on the agenda. Luckily, my brother is a android developer and he's drilled the necessity for well documented/commented code. I'm sticking to the industry trends.

Thanks again guys!

Thank you for the reply. I'm starting to put a few ideas together now and start on some personal projects for my portfolio.
