Its dynamic nature propels the need for competent qualified computer science professionals constantly. As software stability becomes the crux of comfortable modern-day living, most companies look for professionals who can create software systems that ensure stability. Computer Science graduates can work with different industries as technical administrators or they can work in research led areas of computer industry. A computer science graduate can make a career in the following disciplines: Software Developers Businesses and transactions today are highly dependent on software’s. Stable Software systems are what organizations across the world are seeking. As a software developer, computer science graduates will be required to have sufficient knowledge on different operating systems and software applications. Software developers need to have domain knowledge of the industry they are developing the software for. Computer Communications Specialists As telecommunications and computer systems gets integrated, there is a constant need of qualified computer science graduates, who can understand the two systems correctly and integrate them to deliver robust business and transaction solutions.

Computer science graduates, who specialize in the area of managing systems and its security, can make a career in the area of system administration. Computer Engineers Computer science graduates with an aptitude for hardware can pursue a career in computer system engineering. Computer engineers can work with system manufactures and high end technical industries that involve high level of computerization. The Computer Science job outlook: Myths and Truths Myth: If you major in Computer Science you can't find a job. All the jobs are gone, or have moved to India Truth: Computer Science is one of the fastest growing job fields Simultaneously, enrollment is down, because folks believe the myth Result: for those who do choose Computer Science, prospects look very good. Say What? How can you know for sure? Someone else has told you that Computer Science is a lousy field to go into, and I'm telling you the opposite. Your future depends on you making the right decision. Why should you believe me over those other folks? Good question. No one can guarantee what will happen in the future, and it is entirely possible that I could be wrong. However, if you are interested in Computer Science, and have a talent for it, and are choosing not to major in Computer Science only because you've been told that job prospects aren't good, you owe it to yourself to read the links below, then decide for yourself. Read this, then decide for yourself CNNMoney.com quotes an ACM study as saying that "Despite all the publicity in the United States about jobs being lost to India and China, the size of the IT employment market in the United States today is higher than it was at the height of the dot.com boom". [Thanks to Keith Decker for pointing out this article.] CNN.con and CareerBuilder.com published a list of "What some fastest-growing jobs pay". They listed ten jobs, with salaries ranging from $60,880 up to $81,140, all of which were "on the Bureau of Labor Statistics' list of the fastest growing jobs through 2014". [Thanks to Li Liao for pointing out this article.] Of the ten jobs listed in the article, five of them were jobs for which a Computer Science degree would be great preparation: Computer Systems Software Engineer Computer Applications Software Engineer Computer Systems Analyst Database Administrator Network Systems and Data Communication Analyst An opinion piece from ComputerWorld explains "Why Good Technologists Are Hard to Find". Author Robert L. Mitchell writes that "IT has gotten a bad rap that hurts its reputation as a top-notch career path". [Thanks to Keith Decker for pointing out this article.] An article from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reports strong growth in Washington state's software sector. Bill Gates is reportedly "concerned that waning interest in computer science among college students would create shortages of qualified employees in the United States." Two articles from monster.com about the decline in the number of students pursuing CS. With fewer students entering the field, it stands to reason that the prospects are better for those who do. Comp-Sci Slump: Growth Ahead? Tech Execs Encourage Computer Science Majors. "Despite offshoring, much of the most interesting work will be done here." Computer Science Slump: College Enrollments in the Field Decline Nationwide "You want to go into a field because you think you're going to enjoy it, not for glitzy or glamorous reasons." But what about this? Quote from BLS web site's assessment of the software publishing industry: " Growth will not be as rapid as it was during the technology boom of the 1990s, however, as the software industry begins to mature and as routine work is increasingly outsourced overseas." Ok. But balance that against this quote from earlier in the same paragraph: " Wage and salary employment is expected to increase by 68 percent between 2004 and 2014, almost five times the 14 percent growth projected for all industries combined." [emphasis added]. The growth of the software industry during the dot.com boom was absurd and unsustainable. We are looking now at more sustainable, reasonable growth that is still five times better than the overall job picture!
