Rio Vista, California

I was wondering about some of the challenges as a newly graduate.

I should want suggestions from someone that is a software engineer and does work in California. The Software Engineer i wanted to be might be developing games and apps for people.

I am a student who wants to go to UC Santa Cruz, but I don't know if I need to be taking an extra step and looking for schools already with a nursing program. I have applied to all the UC's, are other private 4-year colleges something that I should be curious for? Also, what qualities do...

been in college for 5 years and I want to take a break to go into a masters program.

What is it like being a heavy equipment mechanic? what are the days off like? do you get PTO? where is the best location to work or be while you are in this field?

Do you get to spend weekends with your family? I have a daughter on the way so family time is important to me. Are there opportunities for work-from-home positions?

I want to go above and beyond. I want to be the person my coworkers turn to when they need help. How far should I go? Is it a waste of money to get a master's or doctorate? Is the return on investment worth the time and money I would have to put in to be successful?

Does anybody have any advice for a student pursuing software engineering? I've completed a few computer programming classes. What jobs would you encourage me to apply for?
