A couple of credits away from an Associates in Computer Science from SUNY Adirondack. Starting classes this fall to get my BA in Computer Sciences. And yes, college is much easier once you learn to value the actual education you receive vs. valuing the “social” experience you receive. I can’t count how many times I have taken a class just to listen to some retard next to me complaining how he is failing and the class sucks when all he/she does is come into class and sleep and draw pictures on their study guides. ---

Nice, a fellow CS major. If possible, intern where ever you can. Employers love it when your resume lists a dozen different technologies you’ve been exposed to in educational/professional settings. ---

I have owned and operated my own IT Consulting company for two years now lol. I am set with most IT venues. What I am focusing on now is Programming in either a C++ or Java language. I don’t know why, but I just really love working with that shit. ---

B.A. in History from UAlbany, M.A. in Political Science from Rockefeller at UAlbany. I applied for the Ph.D. program and got rejected due to my average GRE scores, which were apparently good enough to get me into the Master’s program though. I now have my rejection letter hanging on my office wall. ---
