Hi Dorene,
I'll send you my resume after I revise it. I've spent most of my
college career doing programming, but I began to tire of that and get
frustrated with trying to code last year. That's why I decided to
minor in Information Systems. I am not sure if coding is really what
I am cut out to do, although I've heard that's where most people in
this field start out.
I've been working on a project as a business annallist this summer,
sorta bridging the gap between the "geeks" and the average user if you
know what I mean. I hope I didn't seem in any way offensive by using
that term. There are certain things that a programmer might assume is
common knowledge, but would be baffling to the average user, if you
know what I mean. I do wish I'd decided to branch out and do an IS
minor sooner. Last summer, I did an internship in Maryland. It was
good to live in a different area for a while, but the work I was given
was very basic low-level stuff.
I'm not exactly sure what I want to do to be honest. Working for a
company like IBM would be great, but there are of course many other
options. I sorta feel like there's so much out there that it's hard
to know what I really want to do. I am aware that this probably does
not sound very good coming from someone who is going to be a senior.
I'll think more about this and post more thoughts as I think of them.
Thanks for the suggestions.
Eric
