era points out another thing.

there are so many different types of programming languages its hard to just pick one. one shop will use php, another python. yet another will be all c and another will use all java. what one do you learn, god only knows. i think if you can program in c, you're probably a good candidate for a junior systems programmer position. i don't program so i never looked in that direction. i just do scripts. bash, ksh, csh... you all know the drill
