Is computer programing a very competive field to get into and is it an open job market?
Considering that we live in the digital age, yes, it’s a very competitive field. According to: http://www.stpaulcareers.umn.edu/…/hidden_market.html “The OPEN job market is where jobs are publicly advertised such as newspaper ads, large national internet sites, job training centers, and employment agencies. In the open job market, you often can find job openings to apply for, but your odds of securing the position are significantly reduced. This is because you are competing with literally hundreds of applicants many with skills equal to or better than yours. Only 20% of all jobs are found in the open job market!” It is an open job market, but more available jobs are hidden and are known only by those who are already in that industry.
