Toby From IBM

Today we had Toby in from IBM he was a computer programmer. He has been at IBM for over 9 years and programming was all he wanted to do with. He was at college and studied computer then went to university for 4 years as he did not know what he wanted to do. Then while he was at Uni he had a year out and worked at Barclay's then went back to complete his final year. After finishing his final year he need work and phone Barclay's back up for a job after working at Barclay's for 7 years experiencing working abroad then decided to move on he went to IBM and began his career there.

He then spoke to us about how it was working at IBM and how much he had changed and finally got the do the programming he wanted to always do.

After seeing what he done it sounded good fun and an amazing experience to see, after hearing all this it has opened my eyes to all the possibilities out there.

After sitting through the talk i found it very interesting and now thinking about Uni as i was before but maybe into programming instead as i found in interesting to see what he has done. I would be interested in a summer placement at IBM because it will be a great experience for me to see if this is what i want to go into.
