What do you want to be when you grow up? Well when I grow up I want to be a software engineer. What a software engineer does is designs and develops computer software at a company. The only education you need is a bachelor's degree ( which is 4 years of college) in software engineering.
Something software engineers have to have is a combination of technical skills. A software engineer on average makes about 100k per a year . The annual salary does increase, the average increase is about 20%. The least I could make is 67k the most I could make is 190k . Education for a software engineer makes a significant difference in pay. The amount of hours per week is 40 . This career can be found in most cities . The work for a software engineer is mostly done inside. This is a great job for me.
There are many pros and cons of being a software engineer . Some pros are, the good pay and high demand. A con is that I would have to do a lot of projects. Advancement for a software engineer would only happen after gaining enough knowledge . For advancement no additional training because you learn a new thing every day out in the field. Advancement would make you project manager ( which has additional duties ). To hold the position you do not have to do any continued education. Some places of employment are Amazon and apple.
A typical day of a software engineer. I would wake up then eat breakfast .Then go to work say hi to my peers then go deal with the customers . Then go to meetings and start arguing about which software is better . then go home, sleep and repeat .
