I'd take an 'A' student with no experience who just graduated with an MS in Computer Science over a 'C' student with 4 years experience.

In my experience (with co-workers and employees) the best predictor of success in the computer industry has been a college degree with good grades in math, computer science, or engineering. And even better if a graduate degree. Some people without that are very good, but almost without exception, the very best I've worked with have had a BS or MS in a scientific field. I haven't found any certification program to be a worthwhile predictor. Received on Tue Jun 24 2003 - 10:11:58 CDT
