If I had a job when I am a grown up it would be a computer programmer. Computer programmers write, modify,test code, and script. To become a computer programmer you need 120 credits (how many hours you are at school) to get a bachelor's degree in computer and information technology or in mathematics or in related subjects.
A skill that a computer programmer really needs is the ability to memorize certain codes. The average annual salary is $46.46 per hour. Your annual salary will increase the better you do. The least amount of money you could make is $25.47 dollars an hour to 70 dollars an hour. Education does make a difference because the better education you have the more you get paid. A computer programmer works Monday to Friday for 40 hours. This job can be found in most cities. And Your job is done inside where you code computers.
Some of the benefits of being a computer programmer are that you can work from home, you don't usually need formal education, higher than average salary, and 15 days of PTO(Paid Time Off). Some of the negative things about being a computer programmer is you work in a fast paced environment and it is not healthy to look at a screen all day. If you are really good at being a computer programmer you could get an advancement in this field and the more advanced the harder the duties will get to advance even higher up. And it depends if you need training or not. Advancements will require more work hours and harder codes and as long as you remember how to code you will not need any extra education. If you work in Washington, it is the best place to work because you can get paid $50 percent more.
