    Getting Employment with Low-ish College GPA?

    Information Technology, specifically software/web development is one of those exceptions. Most employers are going to be impressed enough if you've built a serious application on your own despite a lack luster academical performance. No matter what your transcript says, when you walk across that...

    Getting Employment with Low-ish College GPA?

    I wouldn't be so hard on yourself man. What happens if it doesn't work out? Are you going to not live that down? Again, grades are not going to make or break you after graduation. However what will determine your success is the value you deliver through the products you build. Focus on...

    Getting Employment with Low-ish College GPA?

    Yes. But to add to my last post, It's not worth exchanging your sanity for cash in hopes that the experience will beef up your resume. It's not worth it. Even if he did take on a support role and did an internal move, it'll be two or three years before he could move into a development role...

    Getting Employment with Low-ish College GPA?

    My rule of thumb is for every hour of coding, you should be spending two hours job hunting (resumes, submitting apps, cold calling employers, etc.) Also, do spend more time on that job opportunity after submitting your resume. Reach out to someone part of that company who is a decision maker...

    Getting Employment with Low-ish College GPA?

    I highly suggest not taking this route. Yes, you can make a decent roll working technical support. There's even a little bit more money in production support. However, it's even harder to transfer to an internal programming role because you'll be pigeon holed into that area. You may think it...

    These are the steps to success which should be concurrently executed: If you don't have a portfolio site built, then drop everything you're doing and start building it.

    Kinda Conflicted on Career Choices?

    I don't see where the conflict is here. The market for software development is super hot right now. Because of that you have a lot leverage when it comes to benefits (paid time off, lax work environment, etc.) where you can squeeze in time to work on your passions. In fact, there's a good...

    Controlling your emotions for work?

    I think you pretty much answered your own question. Although, most devs fall into the trap of "Get it done, or I don't sleep" which is the biggest time waster. I get it that it comes from a good place which is a good work ethic and genuine interest in the problem they are solving. But you'll...
