Computers have fascinated me ever since I was a child. Like any kid, I initially interpreted it as a mere gaming device. However, as I grew older, I started developing a curiosity making me want to learn how it works. It was at this time that I was introduced to the concept of programming in my middle school. When I was taught that computers could be used to perform almost anything, I was not convinced; I wanted to see for it myself. This drove me to choose computer science as my main stream of study in high school. It was then that I realized the immense potential of computers and the countless opportunities it presented, thereby increasing my interest in the field. Through a combination of carefully made decisions and persistent hard work, I was able to transform this interest into a successful career.
During the period between high school and college, I started assisting my father with his business. I noticed that he was finding it difficult to manage all of his clients' information in just a bunch of spreadsheets. I wanted to make this information management easy for him; so, I began my research into finding an alternative solution. Within three months, I created a simple database-driven software with an intuitive interface that he could use to easily manage his clients. He found the software so useful that he shared it with two of his partners who appreciated me for its ease of use. It was then that I decided to take up an undergraduate program that would enhance my programming skills and also further my knowledge of the whole software development process. This led me to pursue a bachelor’s degree in Information Technology.
My bachelor’s degree exposed me to all the core areas of computer science. It included in-depth labor...

The first piece of technology that was introduced to me was the amazing, ground-breaking GameBoy created by Nintendo. My parents believed that my obsession with video games in my juvenile years would be the cause of my downfall when I would become an adult with no job, no money, and still lived with my parents. I admit that I did have an addiction in the beginning, but over the years it moderated as I became more attracted to what was actually done to develop the devices and programs that once ensnared me. Enrolling into a vocational high school, I selected Programming & Web Development as my choice of trade in order for me to learn more about this extraordinary field of science. Soon I began compiling my own applications, but with a method unorthodox compared to my classmates; I believed that the vivid aesthetics and simple navigation displayed on applications were just as crucial as the tediously compiled, intricate code virtually hidden underneath. With every annual keynote that was broadcasted from numerous Silicon Valley companies, their latest innovations constantly entertained my curiosity. Advancing as an upperclassmen, I entered into challenging courses and incessantly researched innumerable universities as I began to devise a plan of recruitment for the companies of the Bay Area. Enrolling into a university that is passionate about the
Living in a modern society, technology continues to advance in ways that many would think impossible many years ago. Technology continues to aid the human race in many ways; such as making communication possible across continents within seconds, helping develop new medicines for previously incurable diseases, and completely tasks that would take hours to do by hand. However, technology does not just develop on its own as an intelligent being, but it continues to be molded by those that work in the field of computer science, computer engineering, and computer programming. Each level of the computerized fields has its own field of work, and each aids technology advancement in its own way. Computer programmers train to correctly perform their duties, understand the tools and language, and sharpen their personal qualities. Becoming a computer programmer is not an easy task and takes eons to perfect, as the code is forever changing to adapt to our needs.
Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Mark Zuckerberg. These three men all have one thing in common, they became very wealthy from investing in the future of computers. A person may decide to go to college and make a career out of working with computers because of the potential earnings and consistent need of individuals who have studied computer sciences. This paper is going to inform you on what an individual does with a Computer Science degree, education needed to work in this field, and why we need people to do this kind of work.
I have always been interested and intrigued by computers, ever since using a BBC when I was very young. Since then I have become fluent in writing BASIC and more recently I have learnt HTML, the language of the World Wide Web on which I have my own wesite. I use computers for most of my exam coursework such as Solving Equations Using Numerical Methods for Pure Maths 2 and also for recreation.
A fascination for Science & Technology and keen interest in the ever-growing world of technology motivated me to take up engineering. The power of research and delivering it for the growth of Society is what makes me interested in the technology side of science. I choose to major Computer science Engineering with an intense urge to delve into this challenging field. During my under graduation program I learned the various fundamentals of Computer science Engineering which together with practical course works reinforced my interest.
“Most good programmers do programming not because they expect to get paid or get adulation by the public, but because it is fun to program.” Said by Linus Torvalds, the chief architect of the Linux kernel, these words fill a computer programmer’s mind with both the intention and reason for why they chose the job. With the increase in the creation of computers and hardware products on the market, the need for computer programmers has grown greatly over the past couple of years. A computer systems programmer’s main job is to upgrade old systems or design a new system to meet the needs of a business company (“Computer Systems Programmer/ Analysts). They also write application programs to solve problems in businesses (Henderson, Harry). It is true that a computer programmer can receive huge amounts of payment, however, a real computer programmer would choose computer programming simply because “it is fun to program.” In this impression, computer programming is one of the most favorable careers in the modern world today. However, some people do not consider computer programming as a viable and worthwhile career. Some people consider computer programming to be frustrating since the tiniest error can cause major system disorders. Computer programming is very detailed work and programmers have to be on call at any time of the day to address problems from companies. Therefore, computer systems programmers have huge loads of stress and responsibility to carry on their backs. However, even with huge amounts of stress, computer programmers feel honored and they take pride in their work. Computer programming is very detailed and difficult work that no ordinary person can do. That’s why computer programmers feel honored and it is these feelings...

My interest in Computers dates back to early days of my high school. The field of CS has always fascinated me. The reason for choosing CS stream was not a hasty decision. My interest started developing in the early stage of my life, when I studied about the invention of computers. The transformation from the large size to small palmtops enticed me to know about the factors responsible for making computers, also the electronic gadgets so small. I was quite impressed after seeing a small chip for the first time in my school days, especially after I learnt that it contained more than 1000 transistors, “integrated circuits”.
Fifteen years ago, I proudly walked across the stage at Milwaukee Trade & Techincal High School, having victoriously earned my High School Diploma. At that time, I was only naively aware of the road that lied ahead. I would soon begin the pursuit of a degree in Computer Science at Marquette University, but my first semester would be interrupted by legal troubles and further hindered by the untimely realization that I’d prefer not to spend the rest of my life “alone in a room,” performing what I had begun to perceive as the tedious and antisocial task of computer programming.
