"Computer science as a Career path"

Section 1 "Why Computer Science May be the Right Field for You"

Reason to major in computer science

Our question is "Why?" Reason is, because the computer industry is one of the fastest growing segments of our economy and promises to continue to see growth well into the future. In order to be competitive, businesses must continue to hire well-trained professionals not only to produce high quality products for the present, but also to plan creative scientific and engineering advances for the future. In addition to all the business and communication jobs that may first come to mind, people with degrees in computer science are working on problems from almost all spectrums of life, example on journalism world, online traffic, earthquake detector, medical world about how the human brain works by modeling brain activation patterns with emphasis on helping people impacted by autism or disorders like paranoid schizophrenia, security and law enforcement.

Section 2 "The College Experience: Computer Disciplines and Majors to Choose From"

Computing is a broad discipline that intersects many other fields such as mathematics, science, engineering, and business. Because of such a wide range of choices, it is impossible for anyone to be an expert in all of them. There are many different degrees that involve computing offered at institutions of higher learning. Although computing degrees can share some of the same courses, they can also be quite different from each other. Choosing among them can be confusing. That's why ACM(Association of Computing Machinery), AIS(Association for Information System), and IEEE-CS(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Enginers Computer Society) produced a cooperative report titled "Computing Curricula 2005." There are five fields or five computer disciplines based on "Computing curricula 2005"

Section 3 "Career Opportunities"

Based on an occupation search in 2001, using term "computer science" resulted in over 9000 search results with more than 40 career matches, that is included Computer software engineers, Computer Systems analysts, Computer programmers, Web designers and Developers, Medical records health and Information technicians, and many more. It means "computer science" listed in the recommended course for many jobs above.
