Its not just enough to speak it. However, if you're willing to learn I think most corporations would accept you at an entry level. The problem I see is that CS guys don't want to do the avionics type work and they only want to work in the "in" language (C++). EE guys want to do avionics and are willing to tackle any language. Again, I think it boils down to willingness. At job interviews be interested in the job, show a willingness and be patient. Getting the first job is the most difficult. You school will have a placement office that will schedule interviews with companies willing to accept new hires. Also, there are non-avionic tasks done in Ada too. Try seeking those out. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Bob Love MIME & NeXT Mail OK rlove@neosoft.com PGP key available ----------------------------------------------------------------
