I have always been a computer guy and I think that that would be a good choice for me. Is this a good career? How challenging is it? What kind of education do you need (I think it's a degree in computer science?). I live in Arkansas and I do wonder how many software engineer jobs there would be here though. I have a couple of years until I have to worry about any of this but I would just like to know now.

Assume the job is a software engineering job. Assume that the person sending the CVs has the skills but, can't prove it because he has no experience. Also, six languages = human languages and not programming languages.

For instance somebody was offering a software engineering job for $45,000. Sorry, but that's below market value and poverty wages. Sorry, but you're only going to attract desperate and mediocre engineers. Not everybody wants to work for peanuts. You get what you pay for. You people sounds like you are jealous of software engineers. 45k is peanuts for software engineers.
