What kind of jobs you can get with a computer science degree locally?

Is it difficult to major in computer science ?

• I am thinking of majoring in computer sciene but I am not sure if that is the right career for me. Can anyone tell me what kind if jobs can I get with a degree in computer science and doe anyone know what a typical day would be like working as a programmer.

• Answer:

  The thing I always tell people interested in Computer Science is that they need to discover not if computer science is a good major for them but if they are the right person for computer science. Programmers are born and not made. All the computer programming courses in the world will not make you any good at it if it is not your gifting and calling. Many eager CS majors take their first few programming courses and realize that this is not what they expected while others just take to it like a duck to water. If you find yourself struggling you can always switch majors into Computer Information Systems or another IT area that does not require programming. Remember that at most 4 year schools you can change majors out to the end of your second year with very few credits or time lost. Being able to do well at CS has nothing to do with intelligence. Many of the people I know that were not successful in Programming are very successful in other IT majors and jobs. Personally I really enjoyed my few programming courses when getting my CIS major. However, I could not see myself doing programming all the time. The only coding I do now is some scripting to help produce reports and to automate things. I do Powershell, Perl and Windows Command Shell scripting. Best wishes!
