thats a good start. Keep going add in a few other jobs in there.
Maybe a summer proj here or two. Ya your lying but even career professionals embelish their resume to some degree. The more experience the better. Try to build up your resume so that whoever is looking at the resume decides ok this guy has the experience I'm leaning towards him.

Being a C/C++/Java guy myself (and happily employed) I'm just curious what the going salary for Java guys up in Detroit is like? Not that I'd be interested, just curious.

Any books you'd recommend dmorris? I'm leaning in that direction. I'm currently in school for a BS in CS. I'm in a java class now, and I really like object-oriented programing.

It's hard to recommend books for the most part, because different people get different things from them. That said...

O'Reilly books are great reference books, but not good for getting started and tutorial stuff. They have dozens of different books on Java. Java is an extremely robust and wide-ranging market, what with all the different web, client, and mobile API's and libraries out there. I'd say the market is looking mostly for J2EE developers now, so concentrate on your Java web development skills. Client development is still in demand but not nearly as much as web, with the exception of the mobile market.

Manning books are great. For Java, their Swing and Struts books are excellent, both at getting a new developer up and running, and moving into advanced techniques.

But first and foremost, a firm grounding in Object Oriented Design and Programming is a must!

Thanks for the recommendations. )
