    I have tons and tons of experience in C++. Infact I spend my day as in 24/7 mostly. Just programming applications and such. By writing usualy all of my code alone. I have for like 4-5 years all I do is make Win32 apps and win32 direct x games all day. I even learned C++ fully on my own. Even though when I took one college class I barely really paied attention yet I finished the class with a 97% all assignments and tests I did were A's. I have already written small versions of compilers that convert my designed language into assembly. I've also made win apps that process file types as a scripting language. Still I find that I won't be making very much money on a job considering I never have had one. As well as I only learned most everything on my own through trial and error. Even the teacher at my college suggested I get a PhD in computer science she thought I was extremely capable of doing it. I took that class when I was 14 and now im 17 and I know about 9x more then based on my own practice of programming constantly at home. - LiquidKnight

                    I didn't want to discourage you, in my response to your other messages I was simply explaining my experiences in this field. It is definetly possible to get a job without a degree, I did. My first programming job only paid 10 dollars an hour, but as I gained a background to my career my salary quickly increased. Also if you can prove your self to an employer once you get your foot in the door, anything can happen. There are a lot of good people out there that recognize talent and like to hold onto it, however there are a lot of idiots that dont know what talent is, so watchout for them. Also its great how well that you did in your college course, I would suggest that you keep taking them if you can. There is a lot more to learn than just the languages. Write the next big shareware app yourself from home. The kid who wrote Winamp was only 19 and was able to sell it to AOL for a massive profit. :)
