I have been out of school now for about four months, and I have been trying to find a full-time job. That infamous question rekindles in my brain, “What do you want to be when you grow up?”
A fireman, an astronaut, or a web developer? I would definitely pick the third choice. It seems that our world is changing so much that there are new job opportunities than ever for hypertext authors. As a wise professor once said, “The old media will never catch up.”
I have scored an interview with CNET Networks, the pioneers of the first dot-com boom of the late 90s.
The position is for Associate Web Producer, the same position I held as an intern at ESPN.com this summer.
I have never been to San Francisco, but I am hearing a lot of nice things about the city. I know for a fact that the Tech community is robust though. Leo LaPorte lives there, Google’s backyard buzzes from the server farms, and Apple’s Cupertino headquarters is the factory of personal computing innovation.
I will keep you posted on what happens.

I lived in orange county this summer. I had an internship with Verizon Wireless as a Java Developer. If you want a future in web development, then California is the place to be. It’s a completely different world out there, and it was the best summer of my life.
Good luck out there and keep us posted!
Good luck with the interview. SF is the place to be if you want to work in technology. You should try meeting up with justin.tv
