Hello all,
I feel very uncertain of my career path and I would very appreciate any advice since I have no I can look to.
First, a little about me. I hold a BS in TV and Radio, but I was unsatisfied with the job and pay, so I recently went back to college. I am now finishing an AS in Computer Programming at a state college. Among the courses I've taken, I've had 2 semesters in both Java and C++, 1 in both Visual BASIC and HTML, plus MS Office applications courses. College is the only place I have learned, since I have no experience in the industry and at the time I was in high school (13 years ago), Windows, Mac, etc. were not mainstream platforms.
I've tried to find an internship to no avail. I don't know why companies are not interested in in free work.
I'd like to get back into working full-time at this point. My question is.......
With my skills, would employers seriously consider me as a candidate for a position in programming?
If you need more info, let me know, as I really could use some insight.
