Re: Proverbial foot in the door

That is the catch 22 in pretty much every field though. All places want experience but without being about to get a job you can't get experience. After I got my AS degree I did manage to find a job but it was for an internship at a company I had work with before as a employee on the floor doing manufacturing work. And then I worked there for 5 years while I worked on getting my BS degree. Which got me the experience I needed to find a good job when I finished school. Try to find a place that would be willing to even give you an internship of some sort, or see if your current company has any programming jobs that you could do part time while you are doing your other responsibilities.

This is always going to be the hardest part of getting into a field, but if you can manage to get your foot in the door then you will find something that fits you.
