Overview: With demand for professionals skyrocketing, future computer science engineers have a lot to look forward to. Job openings in computer science and computer programming are expected to be higher than all other professions for the next ten years.

Role: Computer scientists and programmers seek to improve computer capabilities and output. In order to do this, they must constantly develop and test theories, invent, control, and understand new languages, and use multiple technological tools to accomplish goals.

Qualifications: A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science/Computer Programming is required. Those with more advanced pre-employment degrees and certifications will probably find opportunities than others. A proven devotion to computer science history and education is also quite important as a stepping stone to more high level jobs in this field.
