I know that is a weird question and that this probably wasn't the proper area to ask this, but I'm finishing my last year of high school and I'm heavily into technology. I was wondering what sort of program I should look at in University to work at RIM or Palm or any other sort of wireless/software company. I'm not even really sure what sort of Job title I would like. Maybe software engineer?

I wouldn't mind fondling the newest devices before they come to market, but I assume RIM only picks certain people for that?

Anyone have any suggestions for this career path, even if you don't work for RIM. I wouldn't mind just working in the industry. I find wireless technology fascinating.

Would a Bachelor�s Degree in Computer Engineering be a good place to start?

I would assume that RIM tends to recruit out of U of Waterloo?

Some real comedians on here I see. LOL

I took a look around the RIM website, sort of answered some of my questions. Probably best to seek help with the guidance councilor though.

Thanks guys.

Please keep in mind, we are a family and workplace friendly site.

Research in Motion has an been a high profile exception in the recent economic shift. Where many firms are postponing hiring or laying off current employees, Research is Motion has hired thousands of new employees in the past year.

You will need more then a high school diploma. College or University level degrees are a minimum requirement. Computer Science, Business Administration and Law are highly desirable degrees.

In particular, a degree from the University of Waterloo, likley increases your odds considerably.

Ok, since not many replies really were much of help, ill tell you since I'm applying for a position myself at RIM at Ft. Lauderdale as a software engineer.

find out if the school you're going to has recruiting programs with RIM, I know my school does (Florida Atlantic university).

Learn Java, get as much as experience as possible in testing. If I were you get into classes such as Data communications, embedded systems and anything that has to do with hardware design and integration.

you have long ways to go but its good to start getting prepared for it. One thing that RIM does a lot is summer internships, so apply for one, it definitely helps a lot if you want to work for them full time; but for you to have a chance to be an intern at RIM I will wait until you're a junior in college, most companies do not hire interns that are anything less than a junior.

I am waiting to get a job with RIM pretty soon (Hopefully). I have a couple of friends who work there, including my cousin who is a manager and they all tell me is a great company to work for.

Your WAP Browser does not show the OP's profile, he is a Bell subscriber in Calgary, Alberta.

In my experience, the number of BlackBerry users in Calgary is approving unity.
