we do exist! (Score 1)

there are recent grads out there who would LOVE to do scientific programming - such as myself. i'd much rather write a prog to control a telescope than a cash register! but i haven't been able to get ANY coding jobs since i've graduated (in december), so i've given up on going for my 'dream job'. as far as my former classmates go, most of them were just in it for the $$$. they also didn't really care enough to understand what they were doing, much less want to apply it on anything besides what we did in class. my point is that there are people who like scientific computing, but can't seem to find the right opportunity.
