Episode 029: How to Become a Software Developer! Featuring: Sean Coleman, Software Developer & Entrepreneur Mentor Bio: Sean Coleman is a two time entrepreneur, having sold one company to Jobing.com. He has worked as a lead software developer for million dollar start ups, product manager for GoDaddy, and currently is a consultant for companies focused on software product development. He is also fortunate to share my experiences as an adjunct faculty at ASU! Industry Overview: What do Software Developers do? Software developers are the creative minds behind computer programs. Some develop the applications that allow people to do specific tasks on a computer or another device. Others develop the underlying systems that run the devices or that control networks. The following are examples of types of software developers: Applications software developers design computer applications, such as word processors and games, for consumers. They may create custom software for a specific customer or commercial software to be sold to the general public. Some applications software developers create complex databases for organizations. They also create programs that people use over the Internet and within a company’s intranet. Systems software developers create the systems that keep computers functioning properly. These could be operating systems for computers that the general public buys or systems built specifically for an organization. Often, systems software developers also build the system’s interface, which is what allows users to interact with the computer. Systems software developers create the operating systems that control most of the consumer electronics in use today, including those used by cell phones and cars. What does their work environment look like? Many software developers work for firms that deal in computer systems design and related services, manufacturing, or for software publishers. In general, software development is a collaborative process, and developers work on teams with others who also contribute to designing, developing, and programming successful software. However, some developers work at home. Most software developers work full time, and additional work hours are common. How do you become a Software Developer? Software developers usually have a bachelor’s degree in computer science and strong computer programming skills. Software developers also need skills related to the industry in which they work. Developers working in a bank, for example, should have knowledge of finance so that they can understand a bank’s computing needs. What additional skills that they typically don’t teach in school do you need? Analytical skills. Developers must analyze users’ needs and then design software to meet those needs. Communication skills. Developers must be able to give clear instructions to others working on a project. They must also explain to their customers how the software works and answer any questions that arise. Creativity. Developers are the creative minds behind new computer software. Detail oriented. Developers often work on many parts of an application or system at the same time and must therefore be able to concentrate and pay attention to detail. Interpersonal skills. Software developers must be able to work well with others who contribute to designing, developing, and programming successful software. Problem-solving skills. Because developers are in charge of software from beginning to end, they must be able to solve problems that arise throughout the design process. What is the pay? The median annual wage for software developers, applications was $101,790 in May 2017. Future demand in marketplace? Employment of software developers is projected to grow 24 percent from 2016 to 2026, much faster than the average for all occupations. Employment of applications developers is projected to grow 31 percent, and employment of systems developers is projected to grow 11 percent. The main reason for the growth in both applications developers and systems developers is a large increase in the demand for computer software. The need for new applications on smartphones and tablets will help increase the demand for applications software developers. Overall… Software Developers are ranked: #1 in Best Technology Jobs #1 in Best STEM Jobs #1 in The 100 Best Jobs - Of ALL JOBS! Job prospects will be best for applicants with knowledge of the most up-to-date programming tools and for those who are proficient in one or more programming languages. Todd's personal opinion… Programming is one of the best jobs there is. I wish I would have started learning programming when I was in middle school! I recommend everyone looks into programming!

Episode 28: How to Become an Engineer ft. Drew & Angela Munson Featuring: Drew & Angela Munson, Material Science Engineers. Mentor Bio: Angela Munson grew up in Toledo, Ohio and got her bachelor's degree in materials science and engineering from THE Ohio State University. By far the coolest thing she's done is leaving her home state and traveling to new places. In 2015, she and her now-husband, Drew Munson, went on a sabbatical (self-funded, aka they quit) and backpacked around the world for 8 months! She now lives in Phoenix, AZ and is a process engineer at Intel on the most complicated manufacturing process known to man! Drew Munson met had the same job as Angela at Intel until recently he decided to go back to school and get his MBA. He got a full ride scholarship to ASU for his MBA. In addition Drew, one of my best friends… was actually a groomsman in their wedding recently… can be seen scaling thousand foot cliffs. In fact he rock climbed El Capitan a 3000+ foot cliff over the course of 3 days in Yosemite this past year. Industry Overview: What do Material Science Engineers do? Materials engineers develop, process, and test materials used to create a wide range of products, from computer chips and aircraft wings to golf clubs and biomedical devices. They study the properties and structures of metals, ceramics, plastics, composites, nano-materials (extremely small substances), and other substances in order to create new materials that meet certain mechanical, electrical, and chemical requirements. What does their work environment look like? Materials engineers generally work in offices where they have access to computers and design equipment. Others work in factories or research and development laboratories. Materials engineers typically work full time and may work overtime hours when necessary. How do you become a Material Science Engineers? Materials engineers must have a bachelor’s degree in materials science and engineering or in a related engineering field. Completing internships and cooperative engineering programs while in school can be helpful in getting hired as a materials engineer. What is the pay? The median annual wage for materials engineers was $94,610 in May 2017. Future demand in marketplace? Employment of materials engineers is projected to grow 2 percent from 2016 to 2026, slower than the average for all occupations. Materials engineers will be needed to design uses for new materials both in traditional industries, such as aerospace manufacturing, and in industries focused on new medical or scientific products. However, most materials engineers work in manufacturing industries, many of which are expected to have declines or little change in employment. Overall… Material science engineering which is a subset of mechanical engineering ranks # 1 in best engineering jobs based on 5 categories (salary, job market, future growth, stress, and work-life balance); with civil engineer, cartographer, and petroleum coming in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th respectively. Todd's personal opinion… Be careful if you are looking to get into this industry… The growth rate personally worries me at only 2%... I am sure other types of engineering jobs are out there with this degree just make sure you do your research. Artificial intelligence or machine learning will be disrupting many industries. You can learn more about that in episode 13 with Rosana Myers who raised millions. It is much easier to get a job and find work when the growth rate is above average. For example, nursing for episode #25 with Aaron Donze had a 31% projected increase… that means nurses will be paid more in the future and you will never have an issue getting a job. Financial advisor from episode 19 had a 15% increase. Show Notes: [0:53] - Episode Previews! [1:47] - Todd Intro / Episode Start! [2:33] - Meet This Week's Guest... Drew & Angela!

Mentor's Key Points: Engineering is Likely NOT What You Think it is! With so many different fields and career paths, it's CRITICAL you do your own research and look further into the day to day activities of a particular engineering job. Just because you hear one side of the puzzle, it doesn't mean it applies across the board! Explore Different Industries... and TRAVEL! Your life does not have to be glued to a single path! Take time to explore yourself, your environment, and the WORLD! Make New Friends! Make it a goal to make 10 new friends each semester! Doing so will explode your personal network, and will open your eyes to a much broader perspective of the world AND your community! Resources: More Information on this Week's Industry Analysis!

Episode 26: Becoming the Boss Featuring: Chamille Schuck, High School Assistant Principal Mentor Bio: At 27, Chamille is an Assistant Principal for a charter high school that serves inner city students in the South Los Angeles area. She has a BA in English Education and Theater, a Secondary Teaching Credential, a MA in School Leadership, and her Administrative Services Credential. Chamille is young and fierce female leader at her school site, and in the Charter Organization as a whole! She takes great pride in the work she does coaching teachers to be more effective and culturally relevant in the classroom, and developing school practices to better meet the needs of 21st century learners. Industry Overview: What do High School Assistant Principals do? An assistant principal, also known as a vice principal, is an entry-level position in educational administration that helps the principal in the overall running of the school. The job is fast-paced and requires multitasking to hold a leadership position in interactions with students, teachers and parents. It may be stressful at times as well, as you will need to ensure the safety of the students and make sure that your school meets federal and state student/teacher performance guidelines. Some assistant principals view the role as a stepping-stone to becoming principal, while others are content to stay in the role for their career. If you’re a teacher who aspires to be an assistant principal, you’re in good company. A survey by the National Association of Elementary School Principals (NAESP) found principals averaged 14 years as a teacher before moving into an administrative role. What does their work environment look like? In some school districts, assistant principals handle a specific subject area, such as literacy or math. Assistants may be assigned to handle student safety, provide student academic counseling, or enforce disciplinary or attendance rules. They may also coordinate buses or supervise building and grounds maintenance. Assistant principals at middle schools and high schools spend more time with disciplinary actions and less with instructional leadership. This is due to student's raging hormones and increased freedoms. High school APs have an extra level of responsibility with monitoring truancy as some students have cars and can leave campus. As a result, high school and middle school APs interact more with students and spend less time with teachers or in meetings. How do you become a High School Assistant Principal? Principals and vice principals typically need a master’s degree, preferably in educational leadership, education administration or related field, in order to qualify for the role. Many states require master’s degrees for certification. According to the BLS, about 45 percent of principals have master’s degrees and 13 percent have a doctorate. Most states require public school principals to be licensed as school administrators. The requirements for licensure differ between states. In addition, some states require principals to pass a test and take continuing education classes to maintain their license. Most states require a background check as part of the certification process. You do not have to have a school administrator license to be an assistant principal in a private school, but it can’t hurt. What additional skills that they typically don’t teach in school do you need? Effective communication skills Problem-solving skills Strong interpersonal skills Critical thinking skills Good judgment Administrative and organizational skills An ability to uphold rules and regulations while tolerating ambiguity What is the pay? Salaries for assistant principals vary based on geographic region and school district size. The National Association of Secondary School Principals conducted a survey in 2010 and found the average salaries ranged from $64,398 to $94,673 for middle school assistant principals and from $68,274 to $98,079 for high school assistant principals. Salaries on both coasts run higher than the middle of the country and in school districts with more than 25,000 students. The lowest salaries are found in the Southwest, and in school districts with less than 2,500 students. Future demand in marketplace? Employment for educational administrators is expected to grow at a rate of 6 percent from 2012 to 2022, according to the BLS. This is slower than average from other professions. The number of job openings is based on school enrollment, and while enrollments are expected to rise, state and local budgets are also a factor. It’s expected there will be more job openings in the West and South, and fewer openings in the Northeast. Overall… Pros and cons of being an assistant principal: Pros: Every day is different. The role is usually a precursor to becoming school principal. Spending time with children and making a difference in their lives. Cons: Little time for reflection or planning. Disciplinary issues can consume many hours in the day. Daily responsibilities can be all-consuming, and overtime is often necessary to catch up. Todd's personal opinion… If you like being a leader and helping others, a career in education could be for you! Roles in education administration, such as a high school assistant principal typically include a much higher base salary than teachers, but the work can be intense! If you've got the grit, there's even further room for advancement! Show Notes: [0:53] - Episode Previews! [1:47] - Todd Intro / Episode Start! [2:32] - Meet This Week's Guest... Chamille Schuck!

[31:40] - Questions From the Student-Tutor Mastermind Members! [37:39] - Episode Wrap-up / Who's Coming Next Week? [38:49] - Episode End. Mentor's Key Points: For education, and many other career paths, your undergraduate degree does NOT have to be from an elite college! For your undergraduate / bachelors degree, focus on finding a school that fits your lifestyle and goals, offers programs that accelerate you through career certification, and most of all... avoid overpaying for this first degree!! When it comes to finding your first job or getting into grad school, the college you got your BA from doesn't really matter if you're pursuing a master's degree or PHD. Structuring your education and career credential path strategically, with the right schools and programs, can save you years of time and potentially tens of thousands of dollars on tuition! Life is a Balancing Act! It might take a lot of work sometimes, but learning to manage your interests and priorities early on will allow you to do MORE of what you love, AND achieve higher levels of success! Diversify your lifestyle! Make friends, try new activities... don't be afraid to have a little fun! Start to create your own tribe of like-minded positive people. If people try to bring you down, don't let their negativity throw you off your path! Be Your Own Advocate! Take charge of your life, and become the one who determines your destiny! Don't depend on your mother, teacher, or the "education system" to build a path FOR you! Be willing to go out of your way to seek help and advice from teachers, peers, and mentors! Set a weekly goal to have a conversation with a different teacher or other adult on campus! Ask them for help with an assignment / test / project, or ask them a question about their life or career.

This week, our hosts decided to see if the Kennerspiel des Jahres Winning Game Series, Exit: The Game, was worthy of its' 2017 win over show favorite, Terraforming Mars. Is this something that can bring people into the hobby and yet still satisfy veteran gamers? Does it ACTUALLY feel like an escape room in-a-box? Or Do you feel like you are just cutting things with scissors and comparing cards to each other? Find out inside! The first half of the episode is dedicated to how our hosts feel about the game system as a whole(spoiler-free), whereas the second half is chock full of spoilers as they dive deep into each of the three first games, The Abandoned Cabin, The Pharaoh's Tomb, and The Science Lab. 00:00:43 Introducing MHGG Ruins! 00:02:44 An aside about Escape Rooms 00:09:42 MHGG review - Exit: The Game 00:10:06 Rules overview 00:11:17 Initial Thoughts 00:15:29 Components Review 00:21:54 Rules Review 00:27:11 Gameplay Review 00:37:38 Final Thoughts 00:46:21 Our Personal Favs 00:51:08 Spoiler-free Episode Wrap-up Beyond Here There Be SPOILERS!!! 00:55:22 MHGG Ruin Exit: The Game Here There Be SPOILERS!!!

MHGG Review - Twilight Struggle Our hosts are joined once again by Katie, from Katie’s Game Corner, and they all go into the wayback machine into the Cold War with GMT Games’ Twilight Struggle. This card-driven area control game features two superpowers fighting for “control of the world,” so it is super low stakes, don’t worry. Does the theme and simple yet deep play structure make you want to attempt to coup BGG for letting this amazing game fall from number one, or does the thought of having to learn a bunch of cards to play with veteran players make you want to shout “Gorbachev tear down that wall! So I can literally play anything else!”? Find out inside!

Blood Rage On their own once again, our hosts are immediately split up by 800 miles as Adrian calls in from St. Louis. After Jeff and Zach try and sell Adrian on Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds, they all dig into some recently played games. Jeff gets screwed by The Grizzled expansion, Zach got to try out Yokohama for the first time, and Adrian shuffled some cards in Legendary Encounters: Alien. In the News section, some new figures for Blood Bowl are coming out and an expansion to Isle of Skye is announced. In Kickstarters, TMG Deluxifies Flow of History, The Manhattan Project sequel finally shows up, and some bears dig up some honey in Ursa Miner. Our host move on to the review of the week, which happens to be Blood rage. Does this viking game have what it takes to call upon Ragnarok and end the world as the king of games? Or does its’ drafting and Kickstarter exclusives have it fall short of Vahalla? Find out inside! Afterwards, some BGG questions on Blood rage are answered and a couple of emails close out the show. 00:00:28 Banter!

Food Chain Magnate Our hosts are once again joined by friend of the show, Wesley, and start out the episode talking about some crazy weather.

In News, more details have emerged about The Thing: Infection at Outpost 31, an expansion for Star Wars: rebellion is revealed, and Shut and and Sit Down got themselves a convention. In Kickstarters, Farsight gets you an option for minis, Terrain Crate can get you pimp out your D&D, and Card City XL has over 200 ways to play the game. Moving on to the review of the week, we get deep into Food Chain Magnate by Splotter Spellen. Does this cutthroat heavy economic game make enough of an impact to be a contender for one of the best heavy games ever? Or does its’ ruthlessness and long running time make it feel like a dull knife fight that just won’t end? Find out inside! We answer some questions from emails, Twitter, and BGG about Food Chain and then then have a comment from a previous episode to close out the show. 00:00:30 Banter!

In a short news section, one of Jeff's friends wins a CMoN mini painting competition. In Kickstarter, The Grimm Forest is mentioned, and Adrian brings up his new favorite game style, 18XX, with the new 18CZ. Moving on to the review of the week, it’s a dual review of Power Grid and Power Grid the Card Game! Does the original still hold up? Or did it lose it’s spark when compared to newer games? Does the Card Game version replace the main game? Or does the Card Game lack the heavier appeal of the original? Find out inside!

As the episode numbers climb further into double digits the guys decide to change up the show format one more time. Back is a looser banter section where they talk about what fun things they've been up to and briefly chat about a few games they've played recently.

To start this new section, Zach runs through a loose description of the rules, then all 3 hosts chat about their experiences playing the game, and finally they all give their final verdict!
