Ask HN: What options exist for a recent CS graduate?

1 points by mea36 16y ago ↗ HN

I graduate this spring with a bachelors and masters degree in CS (dual degree program). I know I have a lot of options ... big corporations, start ups, phd etc. What I really want to do is work in a developing country using the knowledge I've learned in university. EWB is a great organization but I don't think they really have a place for computer scientists.

Any suggestions?

Check out http://www.geekcorps.org/ who are working on community radio projects in Mali. I've talked to some Geekcorps volunteers who were using an open-source project that I maintained, and they seem to be doing good work. They've been operating for several years now.
