Computer Science Careers

A degree in computer science can lead to any number of careers, including software engineer and IT analyst, two of the top-ranked jobs by Money magazine. Computer science graduates consistently enter some of the best-paid professions directly out of college. The Bureau of Labor Statistic's (BLS) "Tomorrow's Jobs" report states: "Employment in computer systems design and related services will grow by 39.5 percent and add almost one-fourth of all new jobs in professional, scientific, and technical services." The BLS figures also show many more jobs requiring a bachelor's degree related to computing than there will be graduates to fill them.

The rewards of a computing career are not merely financial. Money magazine gives software engineering an ‘A' for creativity. Computer programming is about problem solving in a fast-changing and rarely repetitive environment. Most programmers work in flexible, informal work environments. Many programmers enjoy their work so much that they make it a hobby as well as a career.
