We learn some things in hardware as well, but I'm not sure the balance. Also, I will be doing a co-op through the school for at least three quarters, possibly more, which will also give me some opportunities to try positions working with different people. It's not uncommon for those companies to take you back after you graduate as well, so I'll just have to see. If I find a really good co-op, it's probable that I might stick with that company if the pay is good.
-I seem to remember my FYE (First Year Enrichment, not really a class, just them pressuring you to not be anti-social, yadda yadda...) teacher saying that one of his old students was complaining about making 38$ an hour on his co-op. (That's pretty high-extreme end out of the general co-op pay though, so...)

There's a whole boulevard of video game testing in santa monica, ca which pays in sandwiches. I figure every year in So. Cal there are 4000 new CS grads and 400 new jobs.
But hey, if you can even think in terms of $38/hr to start, things are going well. I figure entry level programming runs $15-20, maybe $35 after two years around here, but I don't really keep track. I was making $30-40/hr in the late 90's in my first year, while senior programmers were making $100-200, but things went downhill after the dot-com bust and jobs started offering $15/hr to start. A friend I coached started making $30-35/hr on his first solid job web programming, but he had at least done some dinky C/S app contracts first.

If you're getting one of those-level Co-Ops here, you've gotten the good ones. Basically, the businesses that check in to view the applications and pick out who they think they want in the long run panned for gold and decided you weren't pyrite. Most co-ops in engineering pay more like 20-25$ an hour, with erratic upper-level outliers.
-Still, compared to the other colleges I considered, at RIT, I'd be considered in high standing out of my class. Not necessarily by grades, but definately by knowledge. I'm the physics guy to go to when the tutoring center fails. o3o... Or Chemistry. Whatever, really. When I take classes, I know my stuff. =0

That's my approach (if you're going to do it, do it right)(though I usually do over-kill). In recent years I pretty much show up in classes to teach, take some students under my wing, and redirect upcoming curriculum.
As I mentioned, chemistry and physics are keys to programming nanotechnology. The science doesn't quite exist yet, but it will soon. Already they're controlling robotic things with photonic spins and chugging algorithms with lightwaves. They will be looking to programmatically place particles in computing materials soon, preferably with resident viral code than with external particle guidance machines.

The Famous timberland boots People Players was Son Styborski founded on June 1, 1974 by Diane Dupuy of Hamilton. At inception, the company consisted of Dupuy and an assistant, eleven performers, and Dupuy's mother Mary Thornton; Thornton designed and built the costumes and props. The timberland mens boots company's original piece was Aruba Liberace, in which a life-size character of Liberace plays the piano. It is still the company's signature performance. Liberace attended a showing of Aruba Liberace, and was so impressed he invited Famous mens timberland boots People Players to perform with him in Las Vegas. The company debuted in Las Vegas in October 1975; over the subsequent ten years, the company performed with Liberace both in Las Vegas and internationally. A 1984 CBS television movie was made about Dupuy's early work and meeting Liberace called Special People. The CBC produced and aired Carnival of the cheap timberland boots Animals as a result of the increasing popularity of Famous People Players. In 1982, Famous People Players was invited to perform in the People's Republic of China. In 1994, the company opened the Dine and Dream Theatre; Paul Newman funded the restaurant's discount timberland boots development from some of the proceeds of Newman's Own products and Phil Collins funded the theatre's sound system.
