I got a degree in computer science 3 years ago and finally landed a real development job. The company is small, laid back, and growing. The other devs are my age and intelligent. It's the complete opposite of my current tech support job. I've been waiting for this day for like, a decade. Drinks are on me. :D

Congrats! I really hope my search for a good CS job isn't that long...

I'm hoping that good grades + good school + coop and other work experience = good job. Guess it still depends on the job market in 4+ years...

It's nice to get into a small startup. There's risks, but the potential rewards are awesome. Think stock options!

Yes. To all those currently in school, get a coop or internship. Many places look for professional experience.
