A stupid question?

saying???

...

I was trying to ask if all the programmers on this forum were employed by programming companies, why are there still programmers demanded? I hope this clears it up.

I''m not employed... Because I need a darn peice of paper... Stoopid rules! I could outprogram some of the chumps who get programming jobs!

I wouldn''t want a programming job.

I''m self taught in C, assembly, 3d graphics, HTML, PHP, SQL, predicate calculus, and who knows what else, but I wouldn''t want a programming job. That''s probably why I don''t have a programming job.

I don''t want to push keys for someone else all day long to create code that does something I''m not interested in and additionally have that code be the property of whoever pays me.

I prefer the freedom to develop my own projects at the pace I choose. Now, if anything, I might consider hiring other programmers to code some grunt work for me to help me complete my projects.

I also wouldn''t mind collaborating with like minded individuals to produce a product. But as for coding for someone else for a wage or salary? Unlikely. Now if the prospective employer offered me a stake in the project''s profits, and gave me freedom to design and draw upon resources I saw fit, that would be a different matter. But that is rather unlikely too.

Bishop... Chill... me too, but some people don''t get that option

Bishop, my opinion towards getting hired is to find someone how writes programs (or games, in my case) you that like to play. I would love to help write some of the things I have sitting around my desk, and I may get to too (I still have until summer to write that demo for them...).

Ignore my meandering .

I''ve wanted to work for a game company since I was 10 years old... but I''ve started re-thinking that lately, somewhere along the lines of what Bishop is saying. It seems that trying to get a team together to work on our own project would be much more difficult, but much more rewarding as well. Ah well... I have at least two years to figure out what in the hell I''m going to do with myself.
