Graduated with a 3.83 cumulative overall GPA, and a 3.98 major GPA - President of Association of Information Technology Professionals, all that good stuff - major of Computer Information Systems with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration -
and no one gave a fuck. The interviews went like this: No experience, you say? Hmmmm....... *eye brows crease*
Internships and related job experience would have helped me so damn much!
I got one job offer, and I took it. Experience trumps all in this area. I work in the IT department of a major financial institution, and many of my coworkers don't have a Bachelor's degree, Associate's degree, or any certifications - they just have 20 years of IT experience. And they are making a LOT.
