Considering my ancient degree was "Computer Science" with an emphasis on "systems" software rather than "business" software*... I'd probably have qualified for the latter (at the time, as a new-hire at Lockheed Sunnyvale, I got only $21K -- which had grown to $125K after 30 years) {And had a defined benefit retirement plan, vs defined contribution... After layoff moved to MI and manage a few years at GE Aviation -- my ("early retirement") from Lockheed was nearly as much as GE paid!} * "systems software" covered OS principles along with compilers/linkers/etc, and language design. "business" had two terms of statistics using SPSS (I'm sure these days they'd be using R [optimal], Octave [as a backup -- Octave being a number cruncher/display tool, where R includes more statistics testing built-in]), or maybe Python with SciPy and or pandas extensions. . -- Dennis L Bieber -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
