Comment R&D (Score 1) 1

Try to get a position in R&D somewhere. Writing code is just a small part of what goes into a project, but you need the experience to learn how real products are built. You can't learn that in school, but if yo can show that you can contribute you can easily advance.

Submission + - Interesting Computer Science Jobs? 1

mattskent writes: I'm currently a junior in college working towards my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science. As such, I'm starting to look pretty seriously at jobs in the IT/Computer Science field. I've spent plenty of time working entry-level IT jobs doing various kinds of help desk type work, and so most of the exposure I've had to the field is related to support of other people's computers. I enjoy helping other people out, but I'd rather not be plugging things in and restarting computers the rest of my life. Although the possibility is growing on me, I don't think I would particularly love to write code all day for a living either. What are some interesting jobs that you've had or heard of that I could look into fresh out of college with a Computer Science degree?
