I have a nephew who, for years, have simply just “worked the phones”. He went back to school to get a degree (correspondence school, actually) in IT, and plans to take as many programming classes as he can on the side. He is leaning on C++ and an assembly language.
So, basically, his IT degree is simply to have the academic requirements for an IT career, and the career he is aiming for is that of programming.
He is discouraged right now because as he surveys the want ads, the common requirement is a minimum of three years experience.
How does he break into this field, he asked me, and I have no answer for him.
Any thoughts from you guys ?
