I studied over a four year period for a College Computer Science Diploma. Like most of my fellow students, I believed that upon graduation, I would land a six-figure salary job and be driving a Porsche with Sandra Bullock by my side. Reality check - after graduation and sending out some 200 CVs, I thought that I would end up working as a security guard, while trying to repay $20,000.00 in student loans. Two years later, I'm working as a Web Developer for the federal government. What got me in was a contact that was working in IT and knew me personally. The moral of the story: Be ready for an uphill battle in order to work in IT, otherwise you'll be saying "Would you like fries with that?". And working in IT, co-op or whatever, while studying will help a lot. Most companies or agencies require a minimum of two-years experience before they will consider you for an IT job. Some require five. Ditto for the job fairs. How do I like my job? - I love it. Although I'm driving an old GMC truck with a Heinz57 Mutt by my side.
