Not assembly. Stuff like embedded systems.

I know a little, but like every college student: I still have a lot to learn. If you would like, I would be happy to email you my resume and talk with you via email. My email is my username @ my username .com.

I worked in embedded development for much of my career. There is a pretty small supply of people who are interested and capable in the field, relative to the jobs available, especially for more junior positions. What Ive seen happen is companies will hire java developers to do C development because they have few other options (it often doesn't work out well). Just apply and you are likely to get people who will talk to you.

I can imaging the kind of spaghetti a Java programmer would make if told to write C with no prior experience. That's how I got my start. I didn't even understand the difference of passing a pointer from the heap and passing a pointer from the stack.

I will be the first person to admit I don't know it all. Will the senior devs be willing to tell me when I mess up and what I can do/read to get better at my job?

I still have a lot to learn. Right now I'm trying to learn as much as I can about the i368 architecture since it is one of the last few processors that, from what I have been told, "a single person can have a working understanding of every part of the architecture and computer."

In any event, I'm basically looking for a summer job or a part time job for next semester, so I think I definitely have given myself enough time to search.
