THey still do that? LSU html class in 96 had us doing that. Was great way to learn all the tags(at the time) and how to create a web page from scratch. Still useful to this day when I'm debugging an Intranet page or some shite.
I'm SQL server guy here. Programming, design, SSIS, etc.
Yall head hunters got any moonlighting contract jobs I could do at night and weekends? Pizza delivery is fun but don't pay like them gigs do.

I wish I could hurry up and progress through my degree. These acronyms are Greek to me.

When we're hiring software developers we don't really care about the degree or certifications. We bring you in and make you take a coding test on the spot and then we talk conceptually about decisions you make coding.
Experience is key though. You have to sound good enough on paper. A degree or cert is good for that first job. After that you better be able to talk the talk and walk the walk.

I'm trying to get an internship at Gulfsteam because every entry-level job these days need 3-5 years of experience.

No legit front end devs use Dreamweaver/Cold Fusion or anything similar. As a hiring manager, I'd say don't let yourself get dependent on that.
When I'm in dev mode I stay in Sublime Text all day - with emmet/zen coding for html. The LINTing tools can speed up css/js.
When interviewing someone, I put them in codepen.io and ask them to build things by hand.

Baton Rouge as in Right now needing someone. Today!
Nola always has IT jobs open but I haven't looked at their openings lately

Well I don't know about the Georgia market but in Baton Rouge a good starting job is somewhere like State of Louisiana. Most of their developers get paid peanuts but they are terrible developers by comparison. So if you know a little you can get hired and build up some experience(more importantly your resume) and get ready for that next job. Other places you might find decent entry level jobs are banks and credit unions. Seems like we get a large number applicants for network engineers who began working some small one man help desk gig in these local banks.

I agree in general with what you're saying. To go a little further he may want to look at the local market. For instance in Baton Rouge you probably want to know about working on the Microsoft Stack in Visual Studio. Know some buzzwords like MVC, WEB API, SQL Server, JQuery, Angularjs, Active Directory, IIS, etc.

Savannah might not be the place to find IT work too. I know Atlanta would be my best bet, but I don't want to be anywhere near that city. I'm going to focus on system security for my degree and since i'll have leftover GI Bill benefits, I'm going to take additional database administration classes. I won't have enough to get a Master's so I'll work on that after I'm in the field and get experience.
ETA: I'm only in my second "IT" class

Speaking of, I'm trying to find a full-stack w/ Java, PHP, C++, VB (no .Net) for a position in NOLA.

Well .NET is implied with the reset of the popular part of the stack I mentioned. But yeah if you want to work for IBM, IEM, certain companies with Oracle based ERPS and such yeah then know Java. PHP and mySQL if you want to do website based consulting type work as I haven't seen much penetration of those technologies in the larger shops in Baton Rouge.
