Is there an "ideal" resume?
I have two resumes: the simple resume looks rather boring to me, as if it was made in high school (which it was!), but the professional resume looks like it has a lot of info that can deter others from reading it. What guidelines should I follow to make sure I don't put too much or too little...

Many people hate their jobs, almost everyone longs for weekends, I get that. But what got you into your profession in the first place? What did you study in college and how did that effect your career? And why do you love your job? Is it working with people? Being creative? The high pay? All...

Many institutions that are cheaper yet offer the same, or better, education to students don't get as much recognition in the press. Can someone provide a list of colleges with great STEM and/or Math programs that are often "underrated?" #college #mathematics #colleges #stem #college-selection...

Knowing that computer science careers are male dominant, what are women's intake on their work experience working with mostly men and did they ever have to omit an idea for a project because they felt intimidated by men in their group?
I was educated with the facts that the computer science population consists of 80% male. It may seem like a blessing to be one of the 20% of women to make a change and have a voice in the technology field, but to other women, it may seem a bit intimidating. What are some of your personal...

Will there be opening jobs in computer science with only having a bachelor’s degree?
My family is pressed about the money for college and I think it would be best to find a job that would only require a bachelor’s degree. Would it make sense for someone who wants a tech job to go for masters? I know it would help but if i had good grades at a 4 year public state university...
