How Fresh Graduates Can Grow Instead of waiting for the Company to help

* Debugging is the most important skill, not coding. I wish I had known this when I was in college.
* Reading is a great habit that has a side-effect that you will also have the ability to read a lot of code and build up the structure inside your head about how the code works, just like you have to imagine what is written in a book or novel.

I also recommend reading:
* How To Be a Programmer
* Do Side projects
* Keep Learning

If you are looking for more in-depth knowledge, I would recommend taking a look at this Stack Overflow discussion.

Make A Difference
Consider this excerpt from a Business Week article:
One vocal camp even maintains that the repetitive nature of writing software code has corrupted Bangalores intellectual spirit. 'These 20-year-olds are like coolies, doing the same job over and over,' says CNR Rao, a Bangalorean scientist who has been an adviser to the Indian government for decades. The software industry, he says, has turned the city into a glorified sweatshop. 'Where is the innovation?' he asks. 'How does this contribute to anything but greed and commerce?'

The joy of programming is the joy of building and creating something. Wouldnt it be amazing if we can build and create something useful for other people? If yes, why arent we doing more of that? After all, there is no dearth of things that we can create.
Closing Statement
Hopefully, I have given some food for thought here.
