I graduated from university in 2002, as the tech market was pretty bare. I was in computer engineering and there were plenty of student peers who enrolled in 1997/98 to "chase the money" that you could make as an engineer. I had lots of friends go off and do non-engineering jobs or enroll in a M.A.Sc. program because they couldn't get a job in their field. Knowledge of Linux, as well as an interest in kernel-level programming, gave me a skill set that has never failed to keep me employed. mh -- Martin Hicks P.Eng. | [email protected] Bork Consulting Inc. | +1 (613) 266-2296 _______________________________________________ Linux mailing list [email protected] http://oclug.on.ca/mailman/listinfo/linux
