Well said Narue. Having just started to work in the industry through co-op positions/internships it is different from what I expected, but you got it dead on with the problem solving.

If you don't like problem solving, get out now.

Also on the note about entry level jobs, I'm a big advocate for co-op degrees from university. I'll graduate with 2 years of work experience while having been in school for only an extra year. While it might not be enough to skip the entry level jobs completely, I should at least be able to get one that I enjoy instead of just getting whats available.
