How to become a Professional

The easiest route to being a software engineer is through college. Most of us have at least a four year college degree (that is a bachelor's degree in the US). Is this a possibility?

The important thing is to start programming, pick out a project and then work on it. The language you start with is not the most important. The project that is best for you to work on first has a lot to do with who you are.

That being said, HTML/Javascript might be a good place to start. Javascript is the language that runs on the browser which gives you a quick way to write programs and see the work without too much setup. Javascript is also universal. Everyone uses it and almost any developer these days will be doing something in javascript.

Good luck.

Sigh,numberless graduates can't apply what they have learned at Universities nowadays. There have been two protests this year.

I don't really understand what you are saying Jane. Do you want to try rephrasing that?

Sorry.I shouldn't have interrupted.

Why are you sorry? I wasn't complaining. I want to understand your point. You are here to practice English, right? I very happy to help you. I don't understand what you mean by "numberless". And, I am not sure what you mean by "can't apply what they have learned".

Are you saying that college graduates are having trouble finding jobs?

I have no problem with your participation in this thread or any other.

If you had said countless instead of numberless, he would have understood immediately.

I'm glad to see you easing into more or less ordinary conversations, and you didn't interrupt anything.

Hi roger,
Thanks for your correction.May I ask the difference between 'countless' and 'numberless'?

Hi max,
Yes.Many IT graduates can't find IT jobs here.

I think they would both mean the same thing, but I can't recall ever having heard the word numberless. It's just rare enough that it doesn't quite fit the stock useage.

In the US, it is pretty easy for a qualified programmer to find a job. The key word, of course, is "qualified", you need to show that you really know how to program. Surprisingly, not all computer programming graduates are really able to program.

US companies are desperate for good programmers, even for those who have just finished college. If you have a college degree and demonstrable skill, you will have no trouble finding a job here.
