Graphics,copmuter engineering job requirements and reccomendations?

[Midcraze]

I was wondering when i enroll for my local college. What should i do to work up to a company like amd or nvidia or even intel. Keep in mind im trying my hardest to get into an ivy league college. Based off of preference i would like to work for nvidia being as they make great software and hardware.

Start by looking for Nvidia/AMD "Help wanted" ads. Figure out what skills and skill levels they are seeking.

But those "skills and skill levels" will certainly change. No way that I can predict how that may be.....

Refocus your efforts to obtain a broad skill set that can be used anywhere. Not just focused on one company, one technology, and "greatness".

As I see things you need both technical skills and management skills to truly make yourself a viable employment candidate. Especially so if you wish to advance and get into management.

The era of "Geek in the cubicle" is over. Unless you can continue to offer skills that are in demand your options will become limited.

MY recommendation is to work on both technical and management skills. Take courses accordingly. Speech, technical writing, finance. I.e., the broader your demonstrable skill set the more employable you will be.

Accept that you will always need to continue sacrificing one way or another plus always need to be learning one way or another.

Always have more options than you think you need.
