I have several years of UNIX/Linux experience, I can code lots of programming languages (such as C/C++, Perl, ...), I can administrate Servers and I even think that I am very well informed about security issues & secure programming. My marks at school were the best of 116 students at my age. Now I asked a quite big company in the town where i wanted to study, and they offered me a little less than 10$/hr. Could anybody please tell me if this is my fault or if the german clocks go the other way round?! They told me that I need job experience, and it seemed to me as if the time spend by me developing open source software doesn't matter. Does it really make such a big difference? Or is anything else wrong with me? Thanky for any answer. cya, develmaster
