Comment Re:education yes but CS? maybe not (Score 2) 433

so if you are planning to a) stay at this place long enough to get a degree, and b) stay longer at this place they will make you sign up for for them
to pay your education bills (which is a good thing) you can see right there you will be at this place/job for quite a while more.
So at that point will you be wanting to go into a computer science position or something different?
but honestly after 10 years of real education nobody cares so much about education unless you are going to teach or do research for the govt.
get an education but think carefully about in what area.

sorry, meant 10 years of experience not education

Comment still looking.. (Score 1) 254

I was so looking forward to the KNO device for this very reason.
but it didnt quite make it to usefulness :(

The ipad and goodreader is my current default but the screen is really just a little to small for
tech/scientific docs.

the asus eee pad transformer has promise but battery life sucks.

there are some flip screen laptops that are nice but again short battery life and quite spendy.

Ive been looking for years for such a beast but technology and demand arent there yet.

this country is increasingly ruled by corporations. Its only natural that the
people start adopting the ethics of corporations. This is to maximize profits
at the cost of everything else.
and by not spending money when they dont have to people are doing exactly
what ethics tells them to do...

It actually can.
I did this very thing some 25+ years ago now.
though my highschool was paying for my community college
at the time. The was pre-AP classes and this was their version.

It was a very useful thing to do community college before
I went on to a real university. not for everyone but
it was like a halfway program for higher education.

Comment it can be if in your job you also program (Score 1) 844

strictly "programming" is becoming a blue collar job these days.
but if you find a profession that you like that needs programming
skills in addition to its normal requirements you can do great.
myself I went to school to engineering (aerospace), that needs
a lot of programming as all we do is write code.
So its applied programming if you will which tends to be
a lot more useful in the real world then just a programming
degree.
