  13. Math expertise helps, even in business programming, but it is not vital. 
  14. As someone who has interviewed and recommended programming talent for my
  15. company, I looked for a few things:
  16.  
  17. 1. Experience
  18. 2. Skills that keep pace with technology
  19. 3. The desire to work harder than an "established" programmer
  20.  
  21. Getting any programming experience prior to your interviews (even if you
  22. are only getting a few dollars an hour) would be very valuable in addition
  23. to your degree.
