2007-06-18 Thread Colin Guthrie
Hi,

Don't want to spam the list, but figured after the London Salaries topic
recently, that I'd post this!

We're needing a PHP/MySQL developer, preferably with experience of
general server admin too.

The details can be found here if anyone is interested:

Well, I have a lot experience with PHP, HTML and MySQL. Also some
experience with Unix system administration.  I'm 15 years old, so
could I apply for the job? :)

But the advert is for a GRADUATE developer ;) Whilst your messages to this
list show you know a lot about PHP, I doubt you've managed to fit a degree
in yet :)

What does a graduate php developer earn in Scotland? and is it
the the piece of paper that's important or is it a reference to the
general skill level (personally I don't see much direct corellation
between academic capabilities and practical coding/sysadmin skill).

just thinking out loud guys :-)

This is always beat around...and my 2 cents are that all the piece of 
paper is worth is showing you have a certain level of commitment needed 
to complete the degree program (important for any job), and that you 
have the ability to learn.  Granted...there are always exceptions to the 
rule...


Plus, at least in the US, it [a degree] always opens the door for more 
money! ;-)

I think that these programs are too overall based, and jobs are mostly
quite focused on a single point. Very simple example, you're working
on a text based site, why do you need to know how to use the GD
functions?
If each company would create its own very simple test, that only
focuses on the actual point, than that would see who is appropriate

Yes, but if you pay $10K for you study, and you get $1K extra each
year, you need to work 10 years to get your money back, and I didn't
even count the costs of your valuable time...

Things I learned to do while obtaining my B.C.S. degree:

1. Time management - how to maximize partying time while
   still getting projects done on time. I used a night
   before philosophy that incorporated the all-nighter
   strategy. This particular approach isn't for everyone.
   I found 2 litres of cola and a bag of Viva Puffs were
   helpful at alleviating night-time drowsiness. This
   strategy can also work for studying for exams.

2. Efficiency - due to many hangovers there was a great
   need for better efficiency in the learning process. To
   decrease the requisite time needed to absorb information
   it was necessary to not bother showing up to class since
   reading the textbooks was much quicker than listening to
   the sleep inducing drone of the professor (who in many
   cases was practically reading from the textbook). An added
   bonus is you don't need to weep through the ignorant
   questions that are almost guaranteed to be raised
   throughout the class by students who didn't do any reading
   at all. Textbooks also often had nice little chunks of
   source code and margin tidbits that the professor expected
   you to read anyways). I must add though, there were some
   exceptionally interesting professors that made the
   showing up worthwhile, my favourites were the distributed
   and parallel programming courses.

3. Networking - I found branching out to the artsy
   disciplines to be quite invigorating. For some reason
   the distribution of women to men in these areas are much
   more condusive to relationships. I also learned some
   other networking stuff but that was course work. Another
   good area for networking was the campus pub... I had
   an especially delightful time one night when all the
   tutors for my 4th year algorithms course were present and
   I whupped their butts at pool :)

4. Independence - all the drooling keeners never wanted the
   partying type in their group when group projects were
   mandated. As a result you often learned how to do
   everything yourself -- the night before of course :)

5. Budgeting - how to pay off a student debt during the dot
   com bust days. This mostly involved not doing what was
   done during the years of studying... aka partying :/ It
   took me 6 years to pay off 70k in student debt *lol*.

For me going to university was a little bit about getting a piece of
paper and a lot about having fun and meeting people (I met my wife
there). One thing that I think is helpful about university is that it
brings a lot of smaller pieces of the greater picture together in a
useful and cohesive manner.

Cheers,
Rob.

Maybe so,  but it would tell you who can adapt to change ;) Not that a
university degree will tell you that either.

   Keep in mind, though, that a good part of the time here in the
United States, employment is gained by knowing someone (not
necessarily political, but someone may ask, hey, do you know anyone
who knows how to  ).  That's actually how I got the job that I'm
in, and my degree was in Criminal Justice back in the nineties.  I
never got a computer science degree, nor do I think I ever plan on
getting one.

Well, here in the Netherlands, I'm not totally sure about the prices
but in € it's about the price we pay...
Government pays the rest.. :)
IIRC, it was €2.5K for the college itself, and €1K for studying books
each year, well, nearly all studies are four year here, so that means
about €14K total.
Close to €10k ;), but let me correct it, it's nearly $19K.
So that means working 19 years :P, or get $2K extra each year :)

   Here, you either have to be destitute, a minority, have done
something extremely beneficial to humanity, know someone in political
power, win a lottery, or serve at least one full tour in the armed
services to get free money from the government for school.  They'll
gladly give you loans, though at 14-19% APR or higher.

Tijnema your showing your age - the calculation you give is, to put it

for and dealt with one or more of the following out of your pocket:

huur/hypotheek
ziektenkostenverzekering
inkostenbelasting
alimentatie
een tas vol boodschapen
een brommer
jou eigen schoenen

we have a more social system in holland - although the figures Tijnema is
quoting are crap unless you assume that mummy and daddy pay for just
about everything but the actual book and study fees.

I know one guy that has 90,000 euro debt from medical school - admittedly
he's taken 7-9 years (he had a stopyear I believe) but nonetheless you get the
point (especially if you know that the guy also had various parttime jobs during
that time)

And why exactly were you hanging around the pig sty? (perchance you were

 Yes, but if you pay $10K for you study, and you get $1K extra each
 year, you need to work 10 years to get your money back, and I didn't
 even count the costs of your valuable time...

Tijnema your showing your age - the calculation you give is, to put it
politely, naive. stick to what you know until such time as you've paid
for and dealt with one or more of the following out of your pocket:

huur/hypotheek
ziektenkostenverzekering
inkostenbelasting
alimentatie
een tas vol boodschapen
een brommer
jou eigen schoenen

sorry kid, I couldn't resist. ;-)
