What's your undergraduate degree in?
You should have no problem getting a decent CS job out here
in Colorado.
Regarding Java in colleges...they don't teach it. I would have
to say 90% of my college classes (Pitt/Lehigh) do not relate
to my current job. Employers know this, yet the majority of
them still want that piece of paper. It's even tough trying to
find a COBOL class in the college environment today. Colleges
seem to run about 10 years behind the real world - at least for
the computer science degree.
Regarding transferring graduate credits - you need to watch
yourself here. Graduate credits do not transfer as easily
as undergraduate credits. Do your homework on this one.
Regarding employement. Hit up the career services center at
your current college. Occaisionally the pull out some gems.
Plus the advice (interview tips & resume writing) is usually free.
Since you are in college - get an account and password (free)
for
www.jobtrak.com - can get info from your career services
center. This site has some gems once in awhile too - especially
for Java. I think they even have internships listed there.
Hope this helps,
