S. M.
◈ Studied BS in Computer Engineering
◈ At Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila
◈ Graduated 2002

list bulletAbout my college education: Taking up Computer Engineering in PLM during my time is very difficult as the University had very little resources and facilities to accommodate the needs of the COE students. We didn't have top notch computer systems that could support the operating systems and programs that needed to be learned so most of the knowledge we only got through theories from the books and professors and through self studies.

list bulletMy current job: I am a Medical Coder by profession.

list bulletAm I using what I learned in college: Only some were practical. All the major subjects that I took during my third year in college up until I graduated were the ones that I get to use from time to time. The subjects from my first year and second year in college were the ones that I never got to use until today.

list bulletHow long did it take to find a job: Just a few weeks.

list bulletDo I recommend studying Computer Engineering: I would recommend this course if you have high interest to continuously learn computer systems. It is highly fulfilling if you are the techie type that takes pride in being able to assemble, install and run a computer system or a network. Compensation is very promising to those with very wide experience and with a number of certifications.
