While many people get their bachelors degrees in computer science, you can also get a good job in software development by learning on your own or going to a coding bootcamp, which usually lasts several months. With a Computer Science degree, you could be working in technology design, support, and analytics, among other fields. A computer-related field degree can lead to various high-paying, highly sought-after jobs. Computer technology is an essential part of modern life, so it is very likely that you will find that your skills in computing are highly sought after by a number of different industries.
High demand for skilled computer scientists means higher growth for projects for many careers. In fact, the Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that the number of professionals working in computing and computer-related careers will grow at a far faster rate than average, with a projected 12% increase by 2028.1 Let us take a look at some of the many computing jobs to consider. From 2019 through 2029, the BLS projects that there will be 531,200 new computer and information technology jobs added to America, representing 11 percent growth.
The BLS projects job openings for information security analysts will increase by 31% from 2019 to 2029. Web developers, who use digital design tools to build and maintain web sites, navigation systems, and search engines, also can expect faster-than-average job growth, according to the BLS. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that jobs in computer and computer-related occupations will grow strongly--11% increase--from 2019 to 2029.
Because Information Technology is such a wide field, with so many types of jobs, a typical salary in Information Technology could be anywhere from $40,000 to over $200,000. Depending on the level of seniority, type of work one gets, and the industry they are working in, software engineers can make between $50,000 to $150,000+.
Some positions can require a Masters Degree in Computer Science or Business Administration, focusing on Information Systems, depending on the job. Bachelors degrees open doors to a variety of other computer science careers, such as software development, database administration, and computer programming. Jobs involving computer programming skills include computer systems engineers, business analytics analysts, software application developers, database administrators, and software quality assurance engineers. Jobs that require computer translation skills include language engineers, information analysts, data science consultants, geospatial analysts, modelers for information management systems, machine learning engineers, and editors of Web content.
There are a variety of different technical skills applicable for technology-related careers or jobs that involve using technology. Knowing about different skills and how you can leverage them to make yourself a desirable candidate for specific jobs can help you to craft a resume, do a good job on interviews, and get started on a career path in technology.
If you are looking to get a tech job, then acquiring the right tech skills is helpful. If you do not have a fancy degree or desire to work in an advanced field such as information technology, but have always enjoyed it and technology, and would like to get involved, you might look at jobs at an IT support desk.
From High Tech and Business, to Healthcare, to even Manufacturing, there are a lot of IT related jobs out there. As demand for automation and advanced technology continues to grow, there are paths being cleared for a flood of technology jobs, and for those jobs, we need qualified digital natives--computer geeks just like you. A new category of knowledge-enabled jobs will be possible, as machines will incorporate intelligence and knowledge that less-skilled workers will be able to access with little training.
These high-skilled professionals will spend their working days inventing and designing new approaches to computing technologies, as well as discovering innovative uses of technologies that already exist. Computer hardware engineers duties are similar to electronics engineers, though focusing solely on computing technologies, with tasks such as designing the schematics of new equipment, creating models for new hardware designs, upgrading existing computing devices, and overseeing new hardware production. Among other duties, computer and information research scientists write algorithms that assist businesses in data analysis.
Computer and information research scientists may work in business, science, medicine, and other fields, studying and solving complex problems, creating, and improving computer software and hardware. Civil engineers offer expertise and solutions for problems related to land management using current equipment and technology, including satellite-based geodetic control systems, precision science instruments, and computer systems with automated design-analysis programs.
His work is located in computer software, hardware, data storage/retrieval, and computer support. As you are representing a broader role within the field of computer science, your work will resemble those of systems analysts, systems designers, and application programmers, who are roles more specialized, but still operate in advisory roles. People-management skills are essential in technical leadership roles and positions that see you working closely with others, like information technology project managers, IT systems analysts, user experience designers, software sales, and support technicians. The strong technical knowledge that you gained from a computer science degree would be extremely helpful in these roles, especially your knowledge of software packages, since you may write the manuals for highly technical products.
While certain IT jobs really require a specific type of experience -- just about anybody can get into a piece of the IT industry and partake of its well-paid, fast-growing, and relatively secure jobs. This survey finds employment is far higher for jobs requiring average or above-average levels of preparation ; average or above-average interpersonal, managerial, and communications skills; and higher levels of analytical skills, such as critical thinking and computing skills. With an annual average salary of $122,840 in 2019, computer and information science researchers enjoy a higher-than-average pay as they work to advance the field of computing through new technologies, platforms, and systems.
