There's lots of different opinions on this of course, Dale. Personally, I think two years of real – world experience is valuable to a new engineer. It takes some of the shine off of the degree a little bit, and forces them to realize they didn't actually learn all there is to learn in school. "what do you mean there's no garbage collector in C?" I find, the first two years of a career are really spent unraveling what they thought their career would be like compared to what it actually looks like every day. After a few "come to Jesus" moments with themselves about who they really want to be when they grow up, they are often a little more committed to the job, as well as a little more willing to take feedback and direction from mentors. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
