- Just wondering what the professionals here think about the odds of a
- self taught non CS or MIS or anything S major *grin* getting a decent
- job as a c++ programmer. I have a BA in psych and most of an MA in
- counseling and have decided I don't much wanna be a psychologist
- anymore. Always have liked computers. Know BASIC, and
- pascal...taught myself the basics of c++ and am beginning to work on
- understanding the OWL. I'll probably end up taking a c++ class from a
- local tech college. Is there room for essentially self taught
- programmers?
