I'm 21 and I am going to community college for my general ed. I also work and am expecting a child in Nov. I really want to provide for my family and i am going to need to decide soon on what i'm going to do. I understand that good jobs are few and far in between nowadays and any suggestions on a good computer related field to jump into would be great. I don't want to make the mistake of ending up with a useless degree or wasting my time.

I am fascinated in programming and coding. I would like it to become my future profession. Moreover, I consider jobs in the IT industry as easy to find. besides, generously paid too. Now I need to chose a University to study in. There are lots of different majors offered such as Computer Engineering, Computer Science etc. I am so confused and lost in all those words.

Hi everyone, ever since I was a teenager everyone has been telling me to take up a degree that's got to do with Computers, such as IT, CE and CE. I took 2 years of Business Economics instead but it didn't really work because I had to stop and move to a different country. Now that I'm going back home, I figure that there's nothing better than finishing my studies... I don't really know the difference, some say it's practically the same. Technology excites me. If I don't get one coding right, I pretty much spend most of my time fixing it. I just want a real knowledge about the two. A lot of math, I know. Can anyone specify what kind of math I'm going to be tackling with it most? Computer science or Computer engineering? Help me out please. 5 stars. "such as IT, CS* and CE"

All the jobs where they need people are in Information Technology and Computer Science, so I'm going back to school. I consider myself to be fairly computer literate, but there seems to be a bewildering array of courses and programs offered by various schools, and even more confusing lists of requirements for applicants of open IT positions. What degrees, classes, certifications, skills, programming languages, or what-have-you are the best worth taking?

A computer scientist is a scientist who specialises in the theory of computation. So, is a computer scientist knowledgeable about computer hardware? Does he know how hardware works?

Can it really get you a job as like a game programmer for video games? I noticed in assist.org that you have to take C++ programming and C programming for this major and to transfer to that university. Having that said, with the knowledge of C and C++ programming can you also get a job as a game programmer? Please reply... I will really appreciate it! Thank you...
