Hello

I graduated 2 years ago in BSc Business Information Technology and been working as a software tester. It's such a competitive market out there, there are so many Computer Science graduates fighting for the programming jobs and I don't stand a chance against them. I'm not geeky enough. So that was why I took the easier option and went down the software testing route. But I do want a programming job! I want to challenge myself, so I'm going to study the MCAD in VB.Net. Hopefully it'll improve my chances of getting into software development.

I've been having a bit of a quarter life crisis. My friends are happy with their jobs, whereas I feel like I'm just drifting along, dunno what I'm doing, I'm getting old and soon it'll be too late. Hehe, that's me being depressing

But now I feel focused. I'm gona get my MCAD qualifications. If things don't work out and I can't get into programming, I always have my software testing experience to fall back on. It's not that I hate testing, it's just not that interesting/challenging compared to coding.

I'm really looking forward to the exams. I love exams!! Now that I'm not a student anymore, I really miss cramming facts into my head and taking exams. (I'm not strange am I? )

Greetings, sneezie. Welcome to CertForums. Glad to see you wanting to forge ahead in life, though I am having a hard time seeing you as "old".

 

Welcome to CF, sneezie - *bless you* for joining us

I agree with Trip - I don't think you're going to get away with "quarter-life crisis". Theres us old coots here as well, you know

 

Welcome!

 

No, not really. The folks around here are much the same, only they won't admit it.

Welcome to the forum.
