Three pieces of advice.

1) Write some shitty CRUD app in C# for school, and write your scheme interpreter just for fun. Don't waste your time fighting with a prof, just play the game and move on.

2) Add README files to your github projects. Some prospective employers will ignore your grades/cv and browse your github - readme files will help them.

Put the scheme interpreter here too, even if it's just a fun little project.

2) When you are looking for a job, send me an email. I'm CTO at a startup based out of Pune and NY. When you graduate we'll either be hiring or bankrupt, and in the former case we probably want to talk to you (see point 2).



Sound advice. Everyone has been telling me that, so maybe I should start listening ;)

Thanks for the offer. I'll keep you in mind when I'm looking for a job next year.
