Computer scientists are the brains behind the IT revolution, the researchers and inventors who create new technologies. Most are employed in cutting-edge industry or by universities. You know you're destined for a computer science career if you'd rather design the programming language than be the programmer who uses it.
Learning Computer Science
A bachelor's degree in computer science and relevant real world experience is the place to start. Whether you want to design a robot, a knowledge system, or a computer game, you'll need hands-on experience with software development. Computer scientists shaping the very latest technologies will have doctoral degrees from the best computer science schools.
The Ivory Tower or the Boardroom?
As a computer scientist, one of the biggest choices you'll make is whether you want to work in an academic setting or seek employment in private industry. If you like the thought of publishing your ideas and sharing them in a global intellectual community, choose academe. If management sounds better, choose business.
Computer Science Salaries
Average salaries for research scientists were almost $78,000, with most falling between $58-$98,000. Top computer scientists can earn six-figure salaries. Some choose to be self-employed consultants. According to the BLS, computer science jobs should remain among the fastest-growing occupations.
