Computer ScienceBill Gates, Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg. These three men all have one thing in common: they became very rich by investing in the future of computers. A person may decide to go to college and pursue a career in computer science because of the earning potential and ongoing needs of people who have studied computer science. This article will inform you about what someone with a computer science degree does, the training needed to work in this field, and why we need people to do this kind of work. What do you do when you're in the IT field? degree? When Bobby Droptables was asked, “What is a typical day working in your industry?” ” He responded with “Go to work, write code, and browse Reddit.” » (Droptables, Bobby) This was a very vague answer I received, so I then asked about "What are these codes for?" » and “What are the codes for?” » His particular job, that of cryptologist, requires him to “analyze code exploits and then correct those who use codes”. (Droptables, Bobby) Aside from this interview, a separate job in the same field as a computer scientist is a different way of working. As the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics says, “Computer and information researchers create and improve computer algorithms, which are sets of instructions that tell a computer what to do. » (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics) They go on to say that some tasks performed on a computer are very difficult and require complex algorithms. Researchers are trying to simplify these algorithms to make computer systems as efficient as possible. (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics) So where Bobby works in security and applies patches while trying...... middle of paper ...... read more about career, all this interests me and my interests.
