I have a few questions about my job opportunities and I appreaciate it if people could give me some feedback on what I should have in front of me.
I am graduatating from a University of Wisconsin--La Crosse this December with a degree in CS and a math minor. I have a cumulative GPA of 3.84 and a major GPA of 4.0 right now (though I still have many classes in front of me).
I already have a degree from the U of Minnesota (History, 3.69 GPA) and have worked in the business world for 3+ years (working for a small company in the baseball world, doing some computer programming, statistical research, operations work, technical writing, etc.)
I know Java and C well, also am comfortable with Perl. I should have a good grasp of SQL by graduation.
I am looking to get a nice programming job (and will be open to moving).
Anyone have any advice on things I should learn etc?
Also, I would like to know what everyone thinks about my chances of landing a decent job (I realize that is subjective). Also, any ideas on salary I should be looking for (say I am working a metropolitan area).
Thanks.
