I have been programming for the past 9 years and learning languages, scripting etc all the time. I took a CS degree because I am interested in computers but i didn't learn much in college as i have learned before and after college. Colleges don't teach people how to do real time work. Self learned programmers are more passionate in their jobs, I am not talking out people who work and learned for just a job, but about people who are really passionate about programming and computers. There is more of an interest and passion there than self learned and college taught. Hiring managers should look for people who have the interest and the passion to work rather than degree and just theoretical knowledge. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
