should i get an MS in Comp Sci? I'm always afraid of being pigeon-holed, but I don't think that could happen to me because I try to avoid it. What the hell. I'll find out several things tomorrow.
In the mean time, here's the deal:
1. I got a BA in Int'l Affairs and a minor in comp sci.
2. I really like comp sci and would like to do it professionally with a nonprofit org.
3. I don't have the qualifications/certifications/experience that many nonprofits want of their techies.
4. I kinda want to work for a while.

Any opinions from those of you reading this? Please gimme some advice!

Hey,
About the Jinmao tower...I was reading on the BBCnews, ironically now the CCP decided it'd be a brilliant idea to hire an int'l jumping team to jump off the tower w/ parachutes. 6 people have died so far. WTF?????

I don't think going back to school right now is the best course of action. Try working for a few years first...Any luck? Give me a call one of these days.

Take care,
Lace

Take the time to smell the roses...

You could take a job a and use your spare time to get your MS.
There's nothing wrong with working for the man if you're using
the money and experience they pay you to work against the man.
Then later, you can quit and get a job you like without having
to have spent a lot of time worrying more about the price of
cooking oil than doing something constructive. Certainly we
could use more progressive programmers (and hackers ;)

Hey,

So I read on the nytimes a while back that Shanghai may be sinking. Funny how that happens when you build a city ON A SWAMP!!! About 2,000 new buildings have already been commissioned for the next two years, soooo.... Ah, zhongguo.

It's hard enough finding a job working for the man, forget about NOT selling my soul (soles?)

you're a programmer, too?

Me? No. I just know a bunch. Besides, programmers as revolutionaries... it seems almost
the logical outcome...
