Hello Bryan L. There are many roles you can pursue with a degree in Computer Science. With practically everything ran by technology- the role could fit in almost any industry. You can be a web or software developer, you can be an analyst, a UX Designer, a software engineer or a network architect !
I would recommend taking time to explore what excites you about Computer Science. What can you see yourself doing everyday? Will you need any certifications? For example getting a CompT A+ Cert can count towards 6mo-1yr work experience as a Computer Technician.
Look up jobs you’d like to do and what their qualifications are.

This is really useful for me. Thanks for opening up some options for me.

A degree in Computer Engineering opens up endless career possibilities before you. Some of the top career options after Computer Engineering include:
1) Big Data Engineer: Big Data Engineers are responsible for building, testing, and maintaining scalable Big Data ecosystems for the businesses so that the Data Scientists can run their algorithms on stable and optimized data systems
2) Machine Learning Engineer: Machine Learning Engineers are sophisticated ML experts who specialize in designing and building intelligent machines and systems that can learn from experience and perform human-like tasks with minimal or no human supervision. They create advanced ML algorithms that can teach computers how to perform specific tasks without being explicitly programmed for the same
3) Blockchain Developer/Engineer: As the name suggests, Blockchain Developer/Engineers are software experts who specialize in Blockchain technology. Blockchain Developer/Engineers handle and oversee the complete life cycles of Blockchain applications, right from research and analysis to their design and execution.

Hi Bryan,
Attending a 4 year Bachelors program in Computer Science will prepare you for many jobs in Computing.
US News' job categories is a good first step to decide on areas you would like to get a job. Once you decide on an area you should attend a research university with a Department / School that provide lot of options in your interest areas. Once you are attending a research university you can focus down on an area starting in your Sophomore/Junior year of college.
Computer Jobs - Software Developer (Computer Science degree qualifies you for this job), Data Science, ... - https://money.usnews.com/careers/best-jobs/rankings/best-technology-jobs
For Computer related jobs, attending a University with a Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department is a good option. With in such a department different specializations are Offered. You can make an informed choice amongst - Computer Science, Computer Engineering, etc. as a student in the department. In addition there are sub specializations such as Data Science, Network Systems, etc. An example is University of California, Irvine's EE & CS Department - " http://catalogue.uci.edu/thehenrysamuelischoolofengineering/departmentofelectricalengineeringandcomputerscience/majorsandgraduateprogramstext "
