Fuck.

Can you direct me to a forum that does have industry experience?

>>59707892
Are you taking about something that really is computer science or a "programming" style job?

>>59708660
I would prefer something that is really CS, and not just programming.

I'm pretty good at math.

There is no CS industry, just like there's no math industry. Now, there's applied math like engineering, or applied CS which is software eng or similar.

Can you guys tell me about software eng then?

What am I supposed to do to be in high demand?

you'll get better answers over here

You can either become a programmer or IT type (sysadmin etc.). You can even try out both overtime and work yourself into a DevOps team which can be quite fun.

>series of rigorous internships
what the fuck does this mean? you have multiple internships over the summer? what are they, 4 weeks each?

>How does one reach the higher spectrum of payment in this field?

This will work into your next question. Long-term goal should be management level just like any other industry. Even if your making $150k/year or something of that nature you'll still be a code monkey most of the time. Truth is, it's like this in every industry.

>How does one enter a company that will pay their masters for them?

Corporate America will pay for your MBA if you prove yourself.

>How do people treat computer scientists in the work place? How do regular co-workers see them?

Where I work it's a prerequisites for even entry level IT positions so there is a lot of CS majors. I don't think your treated special because you have a CS degree, but they do expect you to know more then say someone who just went to school for information systems.

>What can you do other than internships to be in demand with companies?

Projects, projects, and projects. People get recruited just off their blogs and githubs sometimes.

>Which companies should I be looking for?

Such an open ended question. If you want bleeding edge then look at startup type stuff, but the job security sucks. If you want a comfy 9-5 with ultimate job security and you can get a security clearance look at government. If you want a bit of both then look at something corporate.

good info up above.

Would the SE scene look similar.
