Computer Science as a Career :: Computer Programming, Coding

The field of Computer Science is based primarily on computer computer programming. Programming is the writing of computer programs using letters and song to make code. The average computer programer will compile at least a million lines of code in his or her lifetime. simply flat more important than writting code, a good programer mustiness be able to solve problems and think logicaly.The working conditions for a programer very greatly. more or less banks require their programers to wear a suit and attend an office during familiar work hours. On the other side of the buisness, many game companys and Dot-Com-start-ups have and incurage a fun work environment. Often including toys, cubicle sleep-ins and cold pizza haphazardly laying accross many a desk. Yet nomatter what the company they any involve the employe to stare at a monitor for endless hours and write the applications of tomorrow on a standard keyboard.Many programers devote themselves to their chicane and thus are compeled to sleep little and acomplish the work in social movement of them. After leaving the office, (if at all) it is not unusual to spend 8 more hours on the same project at home.The starting carry for a collage grad or someone of equal king is ab verboten 50-60 a year. High positions requiring people with rare intelect and skill pay up to $300,000.00 per year plus benefits. A rare few achiev millions of dollars on independant/self-employed ventures.Some things can not be taught and must be present in the prospective programer. For example the ability to aproach problems methodicaly and solve them with logic. However, former(a) skills can be tought. Comp. Sci. is becoming widely in stock(predicate) in collages and even Highschools. Some technical schools now claim to teach an entire programing language in months.Opportunities in the field are extremely available to qualified personel. I have heard first-hand accounts of people being yanked out of collage for a programming p osition at $80,000 a year. With the expanding of the grocery for technology, comes the need for programers of all backgrounds. Job-security is pretty good as long as you dont kill somebody(wich recently happened at a dot-com-start-up). And the outlook for promotions is good considering the deficit of programers.There are disadvanges to being a programer. One being that you must risk eye damage with a computer screen every day.
