/g/, can anybody who works in software tell me if Oracle certificates (Java and SQL) would make a difference during the hiring process?
I have a Chemical Engineering degree with 18hrs of Computer Science courses and I am looking into trying to get into a software development role since the Oil & Gas industry has stopped hiring.
Can having Oracle certifications get me into the industry, or will a four year undergrad degree be required?
no bachelors no hire
no work experience no hire
welcome to the real world

That's about what I figured. Thanks

Sad but true.
Even a BS without experience is worthless it seems.
Anyone got a recommendation on how to start out? Most of my job offers revolve around building/repairing pcs, even though my BS is in IT...

So how are certifications viewed?

Do a bootcamp and attwmpt to pass. They can find qork for you. You will have to suffer for a while.
Other option is make a really good app.

I'm >>61209926 and I've made an app to control lights/ leds/ heating/ etc with my own framework and everything. Looks solid as well and got praise at my faculty, but nobody bites...
Unless you meant a well-selling app, which would probably be some game or facial decoration toy.
What about masters w/ thesis but no work experience...
