.. when I say that I hold a Swiss VET diploma as Software Developer.
Yes, I officially graduated, but I still wonder how well known the diploma is abroad.
Edit: VET as in "vocation education diploma".

It depends on the policy of the firm. For example I know a guy who has no diploma yet, but he found himself a work as web dev in England. They judge on what you know, not what you have 
Congrats on your graduation. I wish you the best of luck finding your first real job

I already had my first "real job", since my work as Apprentice wasn't cooking coffee but implementing crucial parts of the project, including a Hardware Simulator and the Audit Trail

I don't believe Apprentice job is considered a "real job". Just your firm is smart enough to use you for code instead of making you learn the 10 different ways to make coffee.

It isn't, but the time you spend working is widely considered work experience, if it was work.

To have obtained a VET diploma as a Software Developer did you have to take math,science,programming,language arts, social studies, psychology and other subjects in order to obtain the diploma?

It's all depending on the state, but in my case it contained the following fields:
- OS Basics (Linux & Windows)
- Batch programming
- Structured programming (in C)
- Object Oriented Programming (C# [WinForms and ASP.Net], Java)
- English
- Maths
- General Education (includes politics, laws)
- Boolean Algebrae
- Assembler (8 Bit AVR)
- Project management basics
The ones mentioned above were all the same for every student, plus I got me some individual skills at work:
- Hardware Simulation over virtual COM ports
- C++ on Qt
- Creation of end user trainings, 3rd level support

Yeah, script programming would be a better description.

Is it almost the same as getting a Bachelors of Science in Computer Science or a Bachelors of Science in Software Engineering?
|
|
|
|

No, but it certifies you as Software Developer. It's an entry level degree, and most of the Bachelors in CS or SE in Switzerland started with a VET diploma, because they can work part-time as developers during their Bachelor studies.

That sounds nice there are certificates for those fields where I go and I find it annoying for the fact anyone who gets those never find a job. :/ Sadly we must either find an internship while going to school or work another type of job. Congratulations though on getting it! 
I will be finishing my degree soon and well I already develop many different programs. What about you have you developed anything neat or nifty to where you could sell it on your own?

No, but I'm currently working on a Syslog implementation on .Net which I will publish on CP once it is finished.
