Computer scientists study a wide range of theory and
practical programs that aim at promoting computer
technologies. The basic task of a computer scientist is designing
and setting up computer software. The knowledge that computer
scientists acquire also help them formulate better ways of using
the computer as well as advance other related sectors of

solve problems that affect the efficiency of computers such as
security details and information storage in general. A software
engineer works to create, formulate and preserve software
systems as well as ensure their efficient functioning and
reliability. A software engineer requires basic computation
skills as well as programming knowledge that work together in
solving critical software issues that are based on computer
hardware.
A computer engineer is a person who basically works on
designing digital software and hardware systems. The basic
skills acquired are focused on designing communication systems
and digital devices that are made of computers or work closely
with computers. The hardware of digital devices like hospital
machinery, cell phones and other electronics all require
integration by a computer engineer. An information technology
expert has experience in technological fields due to a
combination of practical and theoretical knowledge that is
required in all sectors of the modern world.
This field has a complex form of training foundation and for
any person to make it; a lot of work and accuracy is needed. An
information system professional is a person who focuses on
delivering information to all through computer technology. One
works on developing the required information and delivering it
to those who want it in a form that can be easily read and
understood. A management information systems expert works to
process, organize and manage quantitative computer
technological skills.

Various Computer Careers
Modern day technology has made computers the driving
engine of all aspects of life; education, health, communication
and entertainment all require computers to boost efficient
functionality. There are numerous computer careers that are
studied all over the world. Since computers are the basics of
technology, there are new courses that are being created every

complexities and challenges that come with the computer age
and growth. Below are some of the most effective computer
careers that have boosted the advancement in technology.
Computer support specialists’ jobs are just gaining demand
due to the growth in computer networking. The function of this
particular expert is to provide clients with assistance, advice
and technical support in managing the performance of their
specific computer devices. Here they are basically involved in
providing assistance with software and hardware systems by
interpreting the real problem and offering solutions. These
experts may work under an organization where they offer
computer solutions to clients who walk in or call for technical
assistance.
Systems administrators on the other hand work to improve as
well as provide network availability and efficiency. The
performance and organization of computer network on a day to
day basis solely depends on them. For a credible qualification in
the field, one has to have a bachelor’s degree or a certificate in
the related field. The career has become a full time job in the
recent years with an approximate salary of $ 70,000. The field
5. is gaining much demand with the increase in computer network
needs thus many students are taking up the course due to the
readily available job market.
Database administrator is yet another computer science
career that is really growing fast. This field has attracted
millions of qualified workers as it directly deals with the
efficient use computer software to organize as well as store data
in the simplest way. Database administrators work in a variety
of organizations in all sectors the social-economic fields. This

computer users to do and experience things without manually
performing them. In addition, several devices or computer
gadgets can perform a similar task to various users through the
network. The basic aspect of this field is the ability to control
networks that run specific devices. The pay of a software
developer ranges from about $ 90,000-$ 90,530. A bachelor’s
degree is essential in this field so as to ensure sufficient skills
are acquired to crack this complex field.
The most interesting of all is the information security
analyst, computer network architects and web developers. This
field requires knowledge of information technology which is
