[quote=Anonymous]My DH is an IT manager who interviews lots of job candidates and does hiring in this field. His firm's positions arent' usually entry-level, they require more experience. He laments how many candidates he sees who have just "cranked the handle" on a very few kinds of programming and don't know how to think creatively, so by the time they're applying for those second or third jobs after college, they're actually pretty narrow in their experience. Much worse, he thinks, many are not good at working with and talking to end users and assessing how to meet end users' -- as in, non-tech people's -- needs.

So those of you with the young relatives landing great, lucrative jobs out of college, that's good. But they also need to work on their skills at client relationships and interpreting what they do for the users, not just for other CS staffers. If they can't do that, they might find their careers cooling if they want to advance much in responsibility and complexity at work. [/quote]
