Careers in Computers

Career growth in computer occupations will be at a faster rate than the national average for all other industries, around 13% in this decade. The need for expertise in computer technology spans many different fields like marketing and communication, healthcare, education, banking, aerospace and government. Experienced computer professionals utilize their command over complex technical concepts to develop and implement innovative ideas. Ideally, you need to be a good problem-solver and have the ability to think outside the box in this type of profession. As technical issues might emerge at any point, successful individuals are skilled at quickly tackling unforeseen obstacles with often imaginative solutions. With an optimistic outlook for most computer professions, there are many types of roles to choose from based on your strengths. You might choose to be a computer programmer writing code for a leading satellite company or become a computer systems analyst who assesses all computer systems in a company to promote seamless business functionality. By contrast, as a network administrator you would spend your day evaluating computer networks, both local area and wide area networks.
