Hello,
How does one get a food in aerospace programming?
Is it just like other jobs, all by referral to get in
initially? From looking around, it appears that aerospace
companies/firms looking for programmers require aerospace
experience.
Curious as to if I wished to be able to work full
time in Ada, the actual companies/firms requiring Ada
programming skills are hard to get into. I really like the
Ada programming language, just wish to see myself
programming in it for a long time, if for example, I am
not working with my present employeer anymore.
Thanks,
Chris

Apply.
For entry level up to mid level many/most don't really care as much as the
ads might lead you to believe.

Most people I know were first hired as college co-ops.
I had a friend who was having difficulties finding a job (this was
during the previous recession when Bush Sr was president, not the
current recession). She applied to a prestigious ivy league school,
then applied for a co-op position. Got the job, got turned down by
the school, and 14 years later she still works for the hiring company.
