Need Advice From Graduates That Have a Job

[Kenji4861]

I am currently a senior studying Computer Science. I'm going to be out with a B.S. degree in 5 months and I don't feel I'm ready for anything.

Sure I've done projects assigned and have done programming on the side, but when I read job descriptions.... I don't feel what I know can actually help a company.

Did anyone go through this? What's your advice?

I went through it. I dunno, but the stuff I'm working on is way easier than the projects I had to do in school! I don't think you have to worry about it...everybody thinks the same thing....but i've never heard someone quit cuz they didn't know what they were doing

Dont worry you will initially get put in a position you cant screw up and that no one else wants to do

The first 3-4 years of my career i was stuck doing VB programming. Currently I am senior developer on a logistical modeling simulation that is being written C++. This is the first job I have had where I am getting to use the things I learned in college.
