“Have you ever wondered when the first computer was invented? How about how the computer operates in the inside? In today’s society, everyone uses a computer, whether if the computer is a laptop or a desktop for working purposes or for both social networking and to do other personal stuff. This is beneficial information to the world because learning more about how computers can enhance their own prior knowledge.”(K’yanna Willis Paragraph 1).Every computer has program that operate the computer and these programs are writing by software engineers to make people life easy. Software engineers develop and create program. However not everyone can become a software engineer. To become a software engineer people should to have knowledge about the software engineering and education background. First of all, Software engineering job is the fast growing job. At this time the world technology is update every time because of this software engineers have many job opportunities. In the article “job outlook” it explain Since 2006 software engineering job is growing fast and this job growing is expected to continue until 2016. (Paragraph 15). Of course, software engineers are often well paid. According to Drexel University,” In 2007, starting salaries for software engineers in software development ranged from $66,500 to $99,750. For network engineers, starting salaries ranged from $65,750 to $90,250.” This means computer software engineers earn fair money when compared to other jobs. (Paragraph 9). Another information, the benefits of this job are different depending on where people work. So many engineers get good benefit. “Why work at Google” says, software engineers get medical, life, and business tra... ... middle of paper ... .... 2013. “Education.” How to Become a Software Developer.

All of which makes this job perfect for myself as an avid computer fanatic. The technological aspect of this career not only excites me it also presents a challenge. A Challenge in which I as a student, and young adult, will be given the opportunity to rise and show my own strengths. Similarly, the engineering aspect of this career is also demanding and extremely taxing as a student and young adult. I will be pushed to succeed within this field and become versed in many areas of education in which i could pursue entirely different careers in within the future. Software engineering will give me an “A” rating of employability according to Sokanu, a career research site. This means that within my career many doors will always be open to me as i find my path through life. I will not have any problems in the employment industry because of my highly sought after skills. I will be able to provide for myself and all of my needs and wants. Software engineering is also not concentrated in any one state. Thus, making it possible for me to travel and find work where i wish to travel. Software engineering is a career path that will allow many opportunities for me to grow and learn as a young adult, student, and as a gear i the global

The field of information systems has grown and become more promising than in previous years. This increase demands highly skilled professionals to keep up with the quickly changing world of IS. Looking for a job in the Information Systems field opens the door for many disciplines, each with its significance in the business world. Most businesses need information systems skills to accomplish their goals. There is a wide selection of career options in the field of information systems. There are the technical positions, such as dealing with information management and hardware and software management, and the people-oriented technology positions, such as dealing with the design and operation of Internet applications (“Why Major,” n.d.).
The Information Technology and Software Development career was the fastest growing career field in America during 2011 (CNN Money, 2012). Every day we find new innovations and discoveries flooding our lives. The world constantly struggles to move at a faster pace while at the same time improving efficiency. This urge to develop the ne...
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, computer software engineers are projected to be one of the fastest growing occupations over the 2002–12 period. The starting salaries for computer engineers with a bachelor's degree can be higher than salaries of bachelor's degree graduates in many other occupations.
... deadlines. Anyone wishing to work in the field must be ready for long hours and maybe some uncomfortable working conditions. Some computer engineers work seventy to eighty hours a week. That's almost double of what the average occupation requires! It is also important to have the ability to grasp new ideas and adapt to them quickly. Somewhere in the world, at any
The career services program is as effective as the career professional and support staff design and implement it to be. Despite the challenges that Cynthia Matson faces in her position, she is consistently in the top ten percent of ITT Tech campuses for student job placement and has always made the goal of a minimum 80% job placement rate for new graduates. The key to success in this field is to build a relationship early with students and nurture their goals and desires while working closely with academics to assure students are ready for the workforce. "Companies need people who can come in and get up and running without a lot of investment in time." (Lee, 2001).
The working conditions for a programer very greatly. Most banks require their programers to wear a suit and attend an office during normal work hours. On the other side of the buisness, many game company's and Dot-Com-start-up's allow and incurage a fun work environment. Often including toys, cubicle sleep-in's and cold pizza haphazardly laying accross many a desk. Yet nomatter what the company they all involve the employe to stare at a monitor for endless hours and write the applications of tomorrow on a standard keyboard.
Becoming a Software Engineer is not the easiest of tasks. To become a Software Engineer you would usually major in Computer Science (CUnet 1). A Computer Science degree is the most common degree among Software Engineers. It’s the most common because it covers a broad range of topics that Software Engineers need to know for this occupation (U.S. Department of Labor 1). Software Engineer’s need at least a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science to get hired by companies. Even though Computer Science is the most common degree Software Engineer’s have, there are also other subjects that they major in (U.S. Department of Labor 1). It is recommended that while pursuing a degree to become a Software Engineer, students should participate in internships, and to participate in projects to be hired by companies once they are out of college (Career Focus 1). If a Software Engineer does not major in Computer Sciences, they will most likely major in Computer Information Systems, Software Engineering, or mathematics (CUnet 2). To become a Software Engineer liking math, and having an engineering sense is a must, liking math and being good at it will help significantly whi...
Most people imagine their dream job is to become a famous actor or a job they have seen done many times. Though because of the progression of technology I would be more suited in a field involving computers. My dream job is to become a successful software engineer because I have always been into computer systems, but can I fit this job, is the career life something I can manage and what opportunities should I go after when becoming a software engineer. Each time I notice how a program is used I wonder how can I make it become faster or more efficient. When you are using your cell phone or iPad there is usually an update at every month. This is because apple is improving the speed of your applications. A software engineer is sometimes overlooked, but without software engineer’s applications would either crash or would not improve. Although most people may feel looking at a computer all day and trying to fix it is uninteresting, I find it challenging
If the nineteenth century was an era of the Industrial revolution in Europe, I would say that computers and Information Technology have dominated since the twentieth century. The world today is a void without computers, be it healthcare, commerce or any other field, the industry won’t thrive without Information Technology and Computer Science. This ever-growing field of technology has aroused interest in me since my childhood. After my twelfth grade, the inherent ardor I held for Computer Science motivated me to do a bachelors degree in Information Technology. Programming and Math, a paragon of logic and reasoning, have always been my favorite subjects since childhood.
Computer Programmers do many things for today's technology, this would be a great career choice.
