This May I will have completed my first year of a computer science degree. I want to get a summer job.
I know how to program Java (not like an expert, but to the point that you learn in the first year), outside of that I have no skills.
What kind of job can I get with this skill? I don't feel very confident in my skill, since all my programming has been for school, I don't expect a business to come to me and saying "make a program that turns every letter 'a' in a .txt. file into letter 'b.' "
I wouldn't know how to apply my java coding skills to the real world.
I have thought about getting comptia A+ certified, is that possible to learn enough to pass the comptia A+ exam by May.
Is it a difficult exam? does it take a long time to learn the material? Are my freshman Java skills good enough for a job.
Nobody will employ you. Forget the job and try to be an intern somewhere.
Work for free and get some real work experience. It will help you greatly in the future.

I want to make some summer cash, interning is even more out of the question. I am only a freshman, nobody is looking for a freshman intern, my academic advisor said by sophomore summer I will be ready for an internship.
Anybody here get a comptia A+ certification? Stories?
What did CS students do freshman summer, just get a regular summer job(store clerk, pizza delivery)? Or just chill at home?

A lot of coding in my job involves mundane data processing stuff like this actually
