Nah, honestly I don't have time for it. I work 40 hours a week I gotta pay rent, also juggling homework, I may look into something for next summer because I could stay with my girl.
You need to intern and intern soon. Make time for it. If you are three months away from graduating and don't have a job, it's likely you won't have a job. I mentor too many Black kids to not see this come into fruition.

Stop wasting time. Get your resume looking good and apply for internships right now.

College is the only time in your life you will be looked at as a prospect to companies. The only time. Take advantage of it

fukk yall nikkas get your cs degree like me I'm a couple semesters away from graduating, 3 months ain't worth of shyt

I would say you need to do both. A lot of shyt you do in school isn't super relevant to the real industry. But the concepts and skills are worth a ton

Is it a four year degree program?

Wrote my first c# program. I already have a strong c++ background so getting used to the weird syntax will take some time:

Code:
using System ;

class MyProgram
{

    static public int Main( string[] args )
    {

        int age = 0;

        Console.WriteLine ("Enter your age breh: ");
        age = int.Parse (Console.ReadLine ());

        Console.WriteLine ("Apparently you're " + age + " years old.");

        return 0;
    }
}

I honestly don't feel too comfortable with this. I'm using MonoDevelop on Arch Linux. In order to run my application I have to run it from the commandline doing this: "mono myprogram.exe". And the debugger isn't working properly in this. So when I write more complex apps I won't be able to pinpoint errors. **stroking beard** Seriously considering sticking to c++ but I don't know man....

fukk linux. Linux is for antisocial nerds who live in their mom's basement.



Trying to learn how to hack? Trying to be Mr. Robot? p*ssy ass.



Naaaah stay with your job at Walmart. Leave the coding to the big boys. Your brain can't handle this shyt right here, partna!



This man knows his stuff. Dap + Rep



Yeah same exact thing. You're on the money there!
Linux runs servers and phones and routers and arm machine's and just about everything else lol. Dont be dissing the penguin nikka

I'm really learning that now:francis:

I kinda already knew that, but a cs degree has you focusing on c++ for a long time and most jobs just aren't that interested in that. I gotta start getting familiar with c# if I want to get this internship I'm looking at

Don't ignore this advice. Most internships worth their salt will pay decent in this field and will even cover living expenses if you're lucky. They will usually give you full hours and pay more than some service job.

You should view an internship or co-op as important as getting a degree. This is how I approached it . You don't want to be one of those new grads without a job. In my case I'm set to get a job if my coop goes welL. I'm not in programming but my degree path and work has some cross over with the same type of work. When I was looking for coops I've seen some developer coops that pay like 19-29 an hour and some covered expenses like rent on top of that. You wouldn't have money problems with most.

If you see any that are unpaid give that shyt the wave. I see these big tech companies try to do this shyt because they know their name recognition will be enough for someone who is hungry for anything and will take iT. Microsoft tried to pull that shyt I know for a fact :francis:
