I'm not doing a placement - I just didnt want to put off graduating by another year, plus I've got a career goal and a placement wouldn't help it!
Tell me about itStellios said:LMAO! I think we broke his spirits a bit last week, poor bugger looked like he was ready to cry at our lab session.
Gonna keep an eye on this thread, coming to the end of my first year now so will be needing to think about placements soon. Amazing how quickly time passes.

I feel you, C++ is abysmalStellios said:Yep, quite enjoying it, but its not as good as i hoped it would be, I enjoyed Visual Basic at college, but Java is the bane of my life.

Zogger said:There are a lot of jobs out there specifically aimed at graduates that don't require experience.. including my software development one. If you get good marks then not doing one isn't too much of a downside but on the really competitive schemes you will be disadvantaged by not having experience, I reckon.
