[QUOTE="DominiConnor, post: 2336, member: 104"] As a pimp in financial markets I have to say that precisely one student has turned up to us straight from any university finance able to program in C++ in any way that wasn't frankly embarrassing. I am of course excluding those that did C++ before they went in, and the situation is so bad that even then I sometimes wonder if something happens whilst doing PDes that over writes the prat of the brain that once held C++, since they seem often to have forgotten it. Approximately 5% of people we see masters in finance go so far as to express a desire not ever to do anything involving programming. We are polite to them, and offer the email address of Huxley. Given that most people don't get most of the entry level jobs they apply for, it's worth looking more at failure modes than perceived success, and I have to say that you need more C++. C++ is hard, really hard. And this is my problem how ? [/QUOTE]
