Entry Level programming jobs using a Mac
I have a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science. I used C, Pascal, Unix etc...all through my 4 years of college.
When I graduated I couldn't find a programming job to save my life. Maybe it was the 1991 Recession? Who knows?
I ended up getting into the PC Hellpdesk field and to this day I'm still there.
I am now trying to into programming. One reason is b/c I hit my limit in what I can earn working on PC's. In short, Mo' Money!!! Ha ha ha...
Another reason I want to get into programming is b/c I believe I am a Computer Scientist. In other words, I'm interested in all aspects of Computers. And I want to learn everything.
I'm tired of opening up poorly built PC's and installing cd-rom's and cards and messing around with an operating system (Windows) with so many faults. When you pull up a knowledgebase and see so many problems and fixes it gets kind of old real quick. I also want to get away from moving PC's and anything close to that. They should make a law that you should only do helpdesk for 2 years. Heh...I don't want to be doing this 5 years from now. No, make that next year!!! HA HA...
So now I have a Mac. A TiBook to be precise. And I love it so much, I'm trying to find a way to use a Mac for real work and make a more than decent living.
I want to use my Mac to program in Java and C and use Unix and all the other things that go with it.
Is there anyone out there that's doing this? I'm learning all over again so I'm assuming that I have to be looking for entry-level positions to get my feet wet.
Where can I look to find jobs like this? How can I look this up in Monster, careerbuilder and dice?
What else can I do besides reading books and doing exercises and problems?
Where are these jobs? East coast? West coast?
