when i graduated with CS in 2002, the job market was crazy tough. I searched for so long, it was frustrating. One thing that never really made an iota of sense to me was Lockheed Martin. They were 'having hard time finding talent' so they were recruiting kids out of high school. they'd spend years on them doing internships (on what you can learn your own in a few weeks) and then pay the students tuition in college so that they would work full time for LM once they graduated. or, they could have hired someone like me and not have to spend years on training on basic stuff and save all that money on tuition. LM wasn't the only one doing things like that.
