    I’ve often had the impression that universities are the best places to cut your teeth in IT. Even though the pay isn’t great, the environments are said to be some of the most complex you’ll encounter. Any credence to that?

      I had a student job with the HPC group at my university. I was working on adding features to some tools they built from the ground up, which was really fun. It’s also nice to work with a bunch of PhDs that are really passionate about their area of expertise.
