Is abstract class field in python possible?

Is the Software Engineering field great to be in...????!?

• Hi all. i am a second year Computer Science student. So far i took a class named "Introduction to Computing," and I feel that i mastered the computer language of Python, but I am still practicing this language since it is pretty popular nowadays. I also learned C++ in the course and by myself. I am in my Spring Semester and then I will have 2 more years of college left. I want to become some sort of Software(nottt hardware!!) engineer, yet I am very confused on what to choose. I have one cousin who did not even have a degree only oracle certifications, and yet he was able to get a top job as a senior oracle dba. I do not know how he did it. But I am looking to see what I should do... DBA, Applications Development... or what. I love c++, and python but I could learn c# and java since I hear those are very popular. Yet i understand you also need to keep up with changing technology. The only thing is that I want an entry level job after I graduate, yet I do not know how to make myself marketable. I know computer science and technology is of the teacher.. even my medical doctor told me, yet what Field should I go into ? What approaches should I take to get a nice job after college? i am very diligent and motivated to work very hard.Any advice?? Thanks!

• Answer:

  Software Engineering is a career with excellent opportunity. It sounds like your cousin just got lucky. With an Engineering Degree you will stand out amongst candidates who do not have such credentials. Java would be an excellent language to learn as it is used very widely. To make yourself marketable you just have to try and bring more things to the table than the next guy. It sounds like you are well on your way and good luck!
