What are some of the most payed computer related jobs? (computer Science)? I completely understand how exciting it is to look for a job that pays a lot of money. However, believe me, no matter how much money you make...if you don't like what you do or even the people you work with it's not going to mean a thing to you when the reality of it all sets in. I suggest you find something your passionate about. Do you love to script just for fun? How cool would it be for you to get paid for doing something you love? Also, remember the location. Where the job is depends on how much they pay. If your in Silicon Valley, naturally pay will be more than other states. Cities will generally pay more than smaller towns and big companies will pay more than smaller companies. Depending on your degree and years of experience will make a difference on what pay range your prospect employer will consider. Most likely, your not going to get paid the big bucks right out of school. That comes with years and time in the field. What is your passion? That is what will make you a cut above the rest who are there to just collect a pay check? In the computer industry, it's difficult to find someone who has the "soft skills" as well as the "techy skills". (Soft skills is where they have good communication, professionalism, good people skills, deals good with conflict resolution etc. ) Typically those candidates that have proven themselves to have both the soft and tech skills are usually "groomed" for management. However, keep in mind...managers can be replaced when/if they're are job cuts. Managers tend to lose the tech work and deal more with "people" issues and lose some of the "up and now" computer skills. They're are jobs out there that have both the manager role/tech but you need to make sure it is what your looking for. It's a very good thing to be competitive in the tech field and keep your skills sharp. For example, let's say your a computer security analyst that deals with Microsoft, once you've master that, get into Unix etc. Keep yourself marketable by studying (not just in school but on your own as well), attending conventions etc (your employer may pay for these classes as well so you both benefit) By keeping your computer skills up to date will be a huge benefit to you. Hope this helps! With that I would like to share one of my favorite verses..."In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps." Proverbs 16:9 My bro is an Info Technology Manager (has to do with networking or something or the other)! He makes 110k a year. I don't know the ins and outs of the computer industry but basically he is the 'boss' of the systems administrators. He works for the networking dept of the wealth management division of Suntrust. computer programmers, computer technicians, computer repair & maintenance, computer engineers, etc... I'd say technicians and engineers beat the rest. Usually it's the salesman The highest paid and also the highest demand is for individuals in Computer/Network/Internet Security Programming. Many salaries exceed 200K a year. US Department of Labor |
