I'm majoring in my third year of computer science and just realized that many jobs wanting my expertise will be office/cubicle jobs. Having an office/cubicle job right now and deciding that the office life is not right for me, I'm wondering where I will end up in the future. I'd prefer a job where I can travel and live wherever I want, perhaps somewhere in Europe, and write/modify code from a remote location. That would make me happy.
My computer science professors emphasize working on teams and I don't know if I would be able to travel and do what I want and still remain part of that team.
What I'm really saying is that my dream is to travel (not just whimpy vacations, but to live), but most jobs in the computer science field are office-like and, in my opinion, boring.
Does anyone have any advice on how I can do both with a computer science degree? - travel and work remotely.
What kind of Computer Science jobs exist?
Check O*NET. Search computer and travel, see if you get anything.
Reply:No, you aren't likely to be able to travel all the time with a computer science career - or most other careers either. Very few if any employers will let you just sit on a beach somewhere and work remotely. Even jobs where you work remotely usually have fairly frequent face-to-face meetings.
Welcome to the world. That's why they call it "work" - it you got to set the rules, and do what sounded like fun to you, they'd call it play. And nobody would probably pay you for it. But if you get a good enough job, you'll have the money to travel on your vacation time.
There are lots of jobs in the computer field that don't involve spending most of your day in a cubicle or office, but they do generally require that you be in a certain place.
Reply:I saw a site last year for the first, I think their guide is so strong and they have many secrets that no one don't know about it, Go and visit them, and then plz tell me about what do you think about their secrets, They are a great site I think.

Which of the four universities offer the best computer science program for undergraduates?
I want to go to one of these universities to major in Computer Science: UCLA, UC San Diego, UC Riverside, UC Santa Barbara. Which one is the best in computer science for undergraduates?
- Is it much easier to get accepted into UCLA with a major in Computer Science than other majors?
- Please provide as much information as you can. Thanks
Which of the four universities offer the best computer science program for undergraduates?
UCLA's the best for CS. Followed by UCSB, UCSD, UCR. It won't be that much easier. History, English, etc will be easier.
Reply:UCLA is the best for computer science. UCLA is known as a a good engineering and computer school.
But, you must know that UCLA is a competitive school, so you need to have very good grades and great SAT scores.

Reply:well if u really want a good school for computer science check out Cal Poly-San luis Obispo.....This school is very well known for its engineering math and Science....Although its CSU...this campus will decline you if you have something below a 3.6 or so....(unless u have really good SAT/ACT scores)...i live in between UC Santa Barbra and Cal Poly state....and i have friends who have applied to both... They get accepted by UCSB but get rejected by Poly....very hard school to get into...but very, very good......

As a Computer Science student, what books should I read to improve my knowledge and increase my job value?
Hi,
I'm a 2nd year Computer Science Engineer student and I've wasted two of my years just mugging up syllabus and then vomiting it on my exam papers. But now I wanna change. I want to read and increase my knowledge database so that my job value increases and people come to see me as a database itself.
I was wondering if any of you guys could tell me in what way I should proceed so as to increase my overall IQ. Should I start will small level books and proceed to higher level or should I increase my knowledge in other areas as well so that my overall IQ increases.
Ok, so I quess I want more of an opinion rather than an answer. Also can you 'wise and resourceful' people please tell me how I can get hold of some books (I mean e-books) to increase my knowledge the way you suggest? And pray tell me it in detail, ok?
Thank you!

try wrox publishers books...they r easy to understand and very informative.

For those who graduated with a degree in computer science?
im strongly considering a degree in computer science
what kind of job do you have? do you find your job satisfying?
optional--how much are you making?
For those who graduated with a degree in computer science?
I am a recent CS grad and I really like the job. Currently I work for a large academic journal, and I do backend programming for the websites. I code in Ruby, PHP, Perl you name it. I work whenever I want, I have a very good salary (sorry can't say) and I go to work wearing whatever I want with great benefits. Also nobody ever bothers me, I am in control of what I do etc. Overall it is a great job and I am really happy.
The key is though would you be happy? I like work that is challenging, and keeps me thinking and this certainly does. I used to work fixing stuff when I was in school and programming is very similar. The downsides: You sit on your butt all day... I like being active. You work with dorks, but then again programming is a pretty dorky field (but since I work whenever, I party all night on weekdays :) So give it a try by working somewhere part time or as an intern. It is the only way to know

What makes a high school student to get into taking the computer science as a major?
The question could be either way.
What creates interest to a high school student to get into computer science field???
What makes a high school student to get into taking the computer science as a major?
Want to be a hacker, crack the bank sites and get a lot of money...
Reply:The first thing you might want to do is determine if you're suited to the field. Try to find a personality test online called "Myers Briggs". It's a personality test that tells you what type of fields you might be a good fit in.
As far as the draw to the field. Well you have like puzzles, you can't be afraid of math, you also might get some satisfaction from building things. Interest, in my opinion is not created externally, it has to come from within, and the only way to find out if you'd like something is to try it out (for example take a couple of programming classes).
Reply:the online games
Reply:Typically games... but the trick is keeping their interest once they realise that not all CS work is about games.

What is exciting about Computer Science?
Want to write a researcg paper on the topic of Computer Science and dont have a clue about it and want to write something eciting and new about it.
What is exciting about Computer Science?
I think Artificial intelligence and 3D animation are pretty cool. Check those topics out.
Reply:personally, i find the physics and components of computers the most intriguing.
for example, a transistor that is moving electrons at 3ghz, connected to a board, connected to other transistors and other components, that in the end display something on your screen.
maybe you could write about the history of computers, starting with vaccum tubes, how the transistor was invented, include other components, such as capacitors, oscilators, resistors, etc, and how they all tie together to give us what we all use today, such as email, or your cell phone, or even your car.
then you could theorize about ideas for the future, and how various things will change, like using gas insted of germanium, silicon, gallium arsenide, and silicon carbide to carry currents...
be creative.
