  1. Getting A Tech Job During High School?

    Ask · Programming · · posted by Cliff · from the who-needs-an-allowance-anymore dept. · 26 comments
    EricHeinz asks: "Over the past few years I've been hearing about how successful everyone in the booming technology industry is. I even hear about many people getting jobs right out of or during high school. I'm fairly skilled in the ways of both Web design and programming, and I know that many companies are looking for techies. So before going job hunting for the summer, I wanted to know if anybody at Slashdot had experience working for companies during their younger years, and how they dealt with companies with difficulties hiring younger employees?"

Qwest has plans to begin deploying OC-768's in quarter three of 2001." Note: if they need beta testers, just lemme know! I can write a mean bug report ("My pr0n is only getting 30gps! Please fix!")
