QFT! - I won't get in the middle of your argument but I will say this is absolutely true. I have talked with a few of the big defense contractors like Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and Northrop Grummon. And the one common point is that multiple degrees are required for consideration. I am currently back in school trying to finish up another 2 degrees. This time for 2 Bachelors in Computer Science and the other one will probably end up being Robotic Engineering. Although I have given serious thought to looking at some of the Aerospace engineering programs but those jobs can be rediculously competitive so I am thinking a little less competetive field is a good start and work on the Aerospace degree on the side until I can finish it up and apply with a few years experience under my belt. Plus the diverse background goes a long way. Just a single degree (especially an associates degree) is not enough to get a solid high paying job, at least not in the tech sector. |
Ahhh, a CS major. I suspected as much when you vociferously stuck up for computer programmers. 3 degrees?!! Then you're in the same boat as me. That's all the more impressive though seeing as you've probably never been to college.
