i've noticed very few entry level/apprenticeship positions seem to
exist in programming, at least not in the Pittsburgh area! i would
like such a job. all the jobs require 3-5 years experience, usually
bachelors degree (which I don't have yet sadly), expert fluency, very
wide skill set etc.... depressing. it must have been nice say 20 years
ago when not everyone and their grandmother had CS degree or many
years programming experience!
