What kind of jobs can I get with a major in Computer Science?

I don't know what kind of jobs you can get with a bachelor's in Computer Science. Do people who work in this field get pay good money? How much?

It depends on what area you decided to focus in on. Coming out of college with a C.S. degree will open up a alot of jobs for you...however experience is a BIG thing in this industry. You won't start out making $100,000 (try about $60,000) as a programmer...and you'll also need to figure out WHAT you want to program. Some software will be heavy in math (ie: computer games) others will not (ie: website development), figure out what you like to write and stick to that. Also alot of software development companies looks for people who know specific languages (java, python, c/c++, etc). Master a couple languages so that you'll be well rounded in the field.
Reply:Programming, you can make good money if you can get in with a good company, which you can get if you go to a school with a good CS program.
Reply:Programmer.
Reply:Yeah they get paid well check out salary.com. My husband got a bachelors degree in Computer Science and is a software engineer. Good luck soon you will make big bucks!
Reply:Come to Silicon Valley. You can make a lot of money here. Of course, the cost of living is high, but you can still do well. In IT management, you can bring in maybe $120-$150K in middle management for a moderate-size company.





As for positions, you could go into systems analysis, IT, product marketing, product design, programming, and any number of other tech fields.
