RE: [PLUG] [OT] Career opportunities

also,
if you looking for employment, don't forget to factor in the distance
factor.
that
is the MPG your car gets, and the cost of gasoline.
What I
mean by that is, don't pick a company that 50 miles further for $5k more a
year,
in the end it will cost you more than $5k in gas, [tolls] and [maintenance].
Also, check
into parking fees, is it free? low cost? or metered on the street (chance of
towing).

for maximum chance of
employment, I'd go with a Microsoft quickie school.
You can
put some of them on student loans (low interest), and
the
schools do have placement services available.
Having the linux background certainly can't hurt.
You have
remember, since this family, family comes before
pride.

Christopher,
I would recommend 2 things.
1) Work on Open
Source Projects, this is a great way to learn how to code.
2) Avoid the
Microsoft Quickie schools. I don't think they look that great on a resume and
if you're looking to work for 30 K, there are many places that would let you
start out as an introductory programmer.
