Hehe only two out of the whole class graduating this month is without a job and one of them is going traveling.
I think everyone in Denmark with a IT engineering degree can get a job. There's still around 50k free IT related jobs in Denmark.

In Canada it might be a whole different story, can't say anything about that.

I see the same tendency for network admins but not for software engineers in Denmark. I think it's under 1% in the big companies in Denmark (Systematic, Terma, National Bank, Saxo Bank, Mærsk, Vestas Wind Systems) that doesn't have a 5 year plus education.
Google and Sun is another story, I am aware of that, but that's like hitting the jackpot. They hire extremely talented people, regardless of education, and can't say I am Sun nor Google potential.

Hehe we started out learning C and C++ but I must admit I like managed code as C# and VB.NET better
I used C and C++ a lot of some embedded Robot control projects.
