I had a free summer (as I was a H.S. teacher) so I was fine with that. Also they let me sit in on a bunch of classes and waived my admission to the Agile conference. I don't know if Object Mentor now has paid apprenticeships now.<br /><br />Obtiva (my current company) and 8th Light both offer paid apprenticeships currently, btw.Jake Scruggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16274380203959781950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1042801964488488185.post-5505089136387952302009-07-06T21:33:50.552-05:002009-07-06T21:33:50.552-05:00Hey Jake,

It is interesting to see where you were and how you have developed as a craftsman.<br /><br />You mentioned something in this post that confused me a bit. You said that you were writing these posts in hopes of getting a job. <br /><br />Were you not working at Object Mentor? Was this some sort of unpaid apprenticeship or something? If so, how did you get started with Object Mentor?<br /><br />I am just curious.<br /><br />FredFred Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00687560433619842952noreply@blogger.com
