In my opinion, one of the major problems with most college fresh graduates is a lack of direction in the above context. Internship in tech/dev positions matters a lot (from what I've seen), particularly if one can demonstrate a high level of responsibility given at that point.

One thing, You said "Start a blog about what your going through(if you'll learn .Net – start a blog here!)" ..

But a person that is learning .net doesn't have really that much to write or do you mean it is a excellent place to put out questions and get excellent answers to them? ;)

Sorry for filling your comments..

Best regards

Hey Marcus. What I meant is that if you're learning .Net, a blog is a great way to share with people about new stuff that you learn, not just ask questions. So, if you've just learned how to make something witha DataGrid, for example, and you think somebody else might benefit from that knowledge, or if you've overcome some difficult problem. If you encountered it, someone else probably has too, and would love to hear how you overcame it, without going through all the hoops you had to go through...

Hey Roy.

Thanks. I am still to far away to be blogging about my .net skills. i can do simple things like a guestbook or a simple login but it doesn't follow any patterns or anything.

But reading your blog and a lot of others blogs keeps motivating me to get skilled and get my 5 minute of blogfame ;)
