- I have been writing programs for my own use for over 10 years. I eat, sleep,
- dream programming, (except at work) but I have never applied for a programming
- job. My degree is BASEET from ITT. (B Applied Science in Electronic
- Engineering) which covered the
- basics in BASIC and PASCAL. I have since become hooked on Borland C++.
- Someday I will find the time to get a BSCS, since without it most interviews
- may go badly. How does someone like me (programmer nerd) land a job that let's
- me use OOD without the BS
- CS label required?
