Careers in Computing.docx



Alex Gauthier and Daymian HogueFor my careers in computing assignment I have picked the following careers. I have chosen Software Engineer, Network Security Specialist, and Web developer. I have chose these careers because from some reviews i found, the Software Engineer was the #1 job for a career in computing, the Network Security Specialist is #4, and Web developer is #9.To start with the software engineer, this job is one of the most in-demand, lucrative careers in the world. Software engineers need to have highly advanced math skills to allow themselves to write complex algorithms to create the developing software. Different applications besides pc software could also be cell phones, security systems, and video games being created by the engineers. From being a software engineer you have the opportunities to work at such companies like Microsoft or work security specialist focus in protecting a network by installing the antivirus, building the firewalls, and changing the passwords regularly. They usually also handle basic system maintenance, and work for big corporations or the government. Training can either be done alone self taught or take a class to learn the basics. Average salary is $40k - $110k / year. Big requirements are loyalty and trustworthiness. Learning to secure a system is a great benefit right along with the pay. Societal memberships are not available in this category.A Web developer creates web-based content management systems that later on will be maintained by other professionals. After some time of working and creating, the worker is moved to more technical aspects of creating the website, such as actually building the hardware and creating most of the software aspects. Society benefits include learning new things from fellow society members instead of dealing with trial and error for hours. Requirements are a 2 or 4 year degree. Web developer can eventually be a webmaster by making their own website. I like the Software engineer career because it gives the opportunities to do more than just what it says. You can focus on whatever piece of that field that you want to, so long as you have the education and the knowledge to do that. ................
