Hell, I had to jump through hoops to get 2 classes to run. Rhe college I'm going to just ditched the programming degree (MCAD, microsoft certified applications development) becuase there is 3, count them 3 of us in the program. This of course happened the semester before I finished my degree. SOOOO I'm its forced me to run so many classes in this last semester or change my degree and add 3-4 more classes.
That's very interesting. We've been planning on moving back to AZ. Originally from Tucson, all the family is there.

I've got considerable development experience but much prefer project management. I'm not a true developer at heart. I'm much better at requirements, use cases , testing, and deployment/integration. I only developed cuz I had to. But if the market isn't saturated with Engineers.... hmmm. I may have to start looking at Phx as well. I've got a bunch of Gov experience and there are a few Gov Contractors in Tucson. So, that has been the default plan. Good info to know.
