I have direct experience that #3 and #4 above is false.
Frankly, if you don't have any practical experience, you aren't going to get hired. Expecting otherwise is victim mentality.
- loup-vaillant 13y agoI recall a testimony that reported #3 verbatim (heard on the radio, by the victim herself). Luckily, no one said that to my face. I made #4 up, on the assumption that the "real world" means money is involved. (That last one is often use to depreciate CS research: somehow, it's often not the "real world".) Now, just a little problem: If I'm not going to get hired, how am I supposed to get any practical experience? Looks like an egg & chicken situation to me. Don't tell me Open Source is the only escape, is it? I'm really glad I was hired back when I had next to no practical experience.
