Gary obtaining a computer science degree can lead you to jobs in a wide range of industries. Technology is, of course, one of them but graduates of computer science degree programs can also have successful careers in healthcare, business, education, and communications, among others. In today’s economy, every company could become a tech company, which is good news for computer science majors. The most common career path is to become a Software Developer, but there are many other positions you can aspire for, such as Computer and Information Systems Manager, Systems Administrator, Systems Analyst, Cloud Computing Engineer, Information Security Analyst, and Data Scientist.
SOFTWARE DEVELOPER – Software developer jobs revolve around creating, testing, and modifying software that power computers and electronic devices, such as smartphones, laptops, appliances, among others. Working as a software developer usually means you are part of a development team that works on meeting the desired specifications of a software product.
WEB DEVELOPER – Web developer jobs involve designing, building, and maintaining websites. Some roles might focus on front-end development, such as layout and functional elements and features of a website, while others might focus on back-end development. Back-end refers to the systems that run “behind-the-scenes” of the website and make sure that it works as intended.
DATABASED ADMINISTRATOR – Data administrator jobs deal with handling databases, which are the key component of any software operation. Data administrators must develop, merge, or migrate existing data to new platforms and ensure that data is securely stored and organized and access is granted only to intended users.
NETWORK ARCHITECTS – Most network architect roles specialize in the maintenance and high-level management of servers, storage, and all related applications and operating systems in the network. Some of the duties of system architects include implementing system-wide updates, deploying hardware systems, automating processes, and creating user accounts with the right levels of access.
Gary hopefully, this has helped you answer the major questions you have about pursuing computer science as a degree. High salaries and an overall positive job projection for professionals in this field make computer science a very popular major for many undergraduate students. But it’s also not for everyone. Aside from the hard skills needed in this program, you also have to possess soft skills, such as critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity, to increase your chances of advancing and becoming successful in this field.

Thank You Samantha. Helping one another. There’s no time like the present, and no present like the time.

There are multiple careers you can choose from for example:
you can build websites and become a full-stack developer,
you can put security and prevent websites from getting hacked and be a cyber security engineer,
if you love to analyze and extract useful information from data you can become a data analyst and do Machine learning,
Also there are multiple new technolofgies like blockchain development cloud technology you can learn.
If you dont want to work for a company, you can run your own startup or even become a freelancer :)
