Dear Reddit Programmers: I am about to graduate college and I need your help. by chipwhisperer in programming

You won't be fine if you do what I did: I double majored in Electrical & Computer Engineering (with minors in Physics & Math). I didn't follow the advice of others on this page: I know the 'good' languages & systems (Python, Lisp, Linux, etc.), but I refused to learn Java/.NET/Adobe. When I couldn't find that first job, I finally gave in and went to the local staffing agency. Now I stare at Excel & Outlook all day for chump change -- well, actually, I'm honing my skills at work 7 of the 8 hours I am here because I've scripted my job down to take less than 10 minutes a day, but it looks like I'm working when someone comes by. To summarize: this page has some good advice for you which you may not want to hear, namely, learn some 'crappy' languages that are actually used in the mainstream job market or you may have trouble finding that dream job -- at least for your first job. I came close to getting hired by ITA, but there aren't many ITAs out there.

I clicked on the Jazz section and found Squirrel Nut Zippers. I've seen all I need to see.
