We hired trainees who were all doing some sort of tertiary couse as well, and my personal view was that the ones doing an AIT (as it was then) course were more use as programmers than those doing a CS degree at Uni. The AIT people seemed to have a better grounding in real-world requirements. Of course the industry and the courses available have changed enormously since then, so you may well choose to ignore everything i've said. :) I also think if you can get a job at the same time as doing the course, it would help tremendously in being able to apply your training to real-world problems, and also to use real-world experience in working out theoretical problems. HTH and good luck.	Tony (4941)
