This guy used to work at YouTube. He dropped it to start making coding tutorials on YouTube. I'd highly recommend it. (If it helps, he also dropped out of college/uni as he couldn't see the point and ended up just reading programming books in his own time - he has numerous walkthrough videos of...

What do you mean? You mean the varying job prospects of geolocation/local economies? It's an overview based on US statistics by the looks of it. Doesn't look like IT gets a mention, unless they're combining 'Comp Sci' with IT degrees. :/

Just came across this. http://www.businessinsider.com.au/college-majors-biggest-lifetime-earnings-2014-9

Are you studying a Bachelor of IT/IS?

Holy crap, it's enoilgam! I remember your name from when I was doing my HSC back in 2011, I think you wrote some SoR notes and went to Marist, legend dude! :) (PS: My SoR marks never counted, I did 1 unit, and all my other subjects scaled higher - did 11 units all up). Are you paying off your...

Article raises a lot of good and relevant points about the current state of university teaching/education requiring solutions to an issue at large. :hammer: :blink2: (http://arstechnica.com/science/2014/05/universities-cant-fulfil-the-myth-but-they-cant-become-a-vocational-school-either/)...

Good reply. However, this applies to Software Engineering roles over at Google, other (not directly programming) tech roles (e.g. Infrastructure, SREs) at Google will most likely test other requirements relevant specifically for the role, correct?

Enjoy never leaving work; work will always come to you. Better stock up on the caffeine now in preparation for it.

UTS, BScIT, major in Business Info Sys Mgmt or apply for BIT Co-op Scholarship.

I did mention this in my third final paragraph on the previous page: It's also mentioned on Page 15 of that ACM Report: Personally, I hate using the term 'Engineer' in any IT role/title that doesn't require at least an Engineering degree to begin with. It doesn't feel morally right, since...

Add this to the list as well. http://venturebeat.com/2014/09/06/this-is-how-you-visualize-the-value-of-a-college-science-degree/ There's a constant global shortage of GOOD Computer Scientists/SENGs/CompEngs out there. Why do you think code.org is an actual thing now? Also, to answer this...

Yes, easily (from what I've heard and seen, and may depend on which electives you choose in Comp Eng, i.e. you could pick up some Networking electives which would give you the knowledge to maintain IT Networks), but I see it as an overkill doing 4 years of intense Computer Engineering if all...

Be sure to read this study/report if you're still not sure! It's put together by a body of industry groups; ACM, AIS, and IEEE. Wish I read this sort of depth when choosing a computing degree. (http://www.acm.org/education/education/curric_vols/CC2005-March06Final.pdf) Here are some quick...

Also, another detailed and thorough read if you're still confused! Wish I read this sort of depth when choosing a computing degree. Check out this academic study and report from ACM, AIS, and IEEE. (http://www.acm.org/education/education/curric_vols/CC2005-March06Final.pdf) Here are some...

Also a good read. http://www.davidbudden.com/degrees-demystified-1/ Written by a CS/CE Grad.
