I've been a software engineer for 22 years now, and I've always found it to be a rewarding and enjoyable profession.\n\nThe wonderful part of technology, is that it does pay quite well. Even average engineers here in the Silicon Valley make over $100,000 a year.\n\nThe cost of admission however is high. We work long hours (60-80 hours a week) which takes its toll on our private lives. We have more money, but have much less time to spend it.\n\nIf you're young and love computers, its a great life. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone over the age of forty. It's a young persons game.

Most of the guys with computer science degrees that I know are working construction or as the Walmart technology sales clerks.  If you get a degree in computer science, you'd be competing with the 500,000 unemployed computer science grads that are out there right now looking for work.  Nearly all computer work is outsourced to India these days.

Computer engineering \nhas software programming , networking, making the software run on different systems (based on processor and OS)\n\n\nAn electrical engineer works form other end, building a computer , processor (VLSI), modem, Broadband wires technologies...\n\nso while EE guys study the electronics and build an "hardware" computer engineers make the use of hardware useable by writing programs such as your windows , unix or bank application or yahoo webpage..\n\n\n\nsome programming overlaps like C, low level, Assembly, system programming along with networkng.\n\nAlso both teams need to have a good understanding of computer Architecture , the EE to build one , the CS to use one.

Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh---- very excellent in computer science, they do allot of research with new technologies. Problem is it is expensive to go to and they have high standards for their prospective students.\nWest Virgina University is also good for computer science along with Pitt, Penn State, Drexel. The question is how much do you want to spend for your education, and can you get scholarships to help defray the costs?\n \nMy advice is go to a two year local community college and take the basic courses, make sure they transfer though and  \nthat way if you pick an expensive school the tuition wont kill you.

Like anything else it depends on what you consider to be a 'ton of money', where you are looking, and how good you are.  While it's certainly not the norm, there are definitely computer engineers making more than $100K only a few years out of school.\n\nI would definitely suggest getting your degree.  There's a lot of competition out there and you can get by if you have friends at hot companies who will refer you but otherwise your resume will go in the trash if you don't at least have a bachelor's.  The associates degree is really not worth the time if you're already a decent computer tech.

The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) surveys occupational salaries in the US.  The following table shows US engineering employment and median annual US salary by engineering specialty:\n\nPetroleum Engineers (14,860) $97,350 \nNuclear Engineers (14,290) $90,690 \nComputer Hardware Engineers (78,580) $87,170 \nAerospace Engineers (81,100) $85,450 \nSystems Software Engineers (320,720) $84,310\nElectronics Engineers (130,050) $79,990 \nApplications Software Engineers (455,980) $79,540\nChemical Engineers (27,550) $79,230 \nElectrical Engineers (144,920) $76,060 \nBiomedical Engineers (11,660) $75,380 \nMining and Geological Engineers (5,680) $75,070 \nMarine Engineers and Naval Architects (6,550) $74,320 \nMaterials Engineers (20,950) $71,390 \nEnvironmental Engineers (50,140) $70,720 \nMechanical Engineers (220,750) $70,000 \nCivil Engineers (229,700) $69,480 \nIndustrial Engineers (191,640) $68,500 \nHealth and Safety Engineers (25,330) $67,240 \nAgricultural Engineers (3,170) $66,370\n\nIn general, licensed engineers make more money than non-licensed engineers.  (In my office, licensed engineers average about $15,000 more per year than non-licensed engineers.)  Many engineering jobs either require a PE or require a PE to advance.  (I work as a trial engineer and expert witness, and my job absolutely requires a PE license.)\n\n- An elderly Electrical PE\n\nPS - Get licensed by all means.  The longer you wait, the harder it is to pass the exams.  Your kids can help you study for the exams.  (My grandkids are a great help.)  A PE also helps bridge employment gaps (like yours).  A PE demonstrates your commitment to your career.  (Depending on your engineering specialty, a PE license with a bachelors degree is roughly equal to a masters degree without a license.)

Learn the computer.  As a System and Network admin for my company there is only one way to get in with me.  Have a brain cell working and be confident.  Work as an intern and work for free.  Soak in all the knowledge you can.  Get 2 or 3 computers even if they are crap and network them so you can say you did it at home.  Play around with them learn and more than what the teachers are giving you.  You’re in school for computer that means you have access to pirated material learn the OS and the Server OS.  I just terminated a person who had a degree but I don't know how she got it because she did not know a thing.  I want someone is not afraid to mess up its part of the game.  Get in with help desk and work your way up the latter take chances and get with your school and see if they can help you out.  Feel free to contact me if you like. If your going to a technical school such as DeVry then they should have something for you.  If your going to a real Universaty then make sure you get your BS in computers.

It's a pretty strong job market right now, from what I hear, and Computer Science remains a popular discipline.  So, finding a job shouldn't be too great a problem.  The two things that may be obstacles are:\n\n1. The specific type of job you're looking for.  If you are too narrow in your search, you may limit your choices too much.\n\n2. The strategy you use to find a job.  You can't wait around for someone to find you.  You need to be proactive in your search, and use a variety of methods.\n\nI've attached a link to an article that should help.\n\nBest of luck to you.

I think that opportunities in computer technology in the US are still pretty great.  Pay in the US would obviously be more, but I imagine the cost of living would go up as well.  I think those who are skilled in your field can make a good living.

To answer your first question, the pay is almost the same as long as you stablize yourself. But go for a major which you think will give you satisfaction working in long run. Pay is one of the factors to consider yes, but think of long run too. If you are comfortable being an electronic engineer then go for it. On the other hand if you think software is your deal, then go for software. Also, just because someone is electronics engineer, doesnt mean that they are not into computers. Some electronic Engineers do handle the computer networks too, which is the backbone of any company. They might be dealing more with computer hardware. If you are thinking of pay scale, well...there are so many computer hardware engineers and network engineers who make the same bucks. So think of what really makes you feel comfortable in the long run. When you are experienced enough, higher pay will automatically find you.\n\nComing to your second question.....oh..wait...i guess i answered this part in the first part of my answer itself. :-) Take care and good luck with your future.

Most of the work involves business analysis, system design and database design :-)

When selecting a college look at placement rates.  DeVry University has one of the best placement rates in the country.  They are fully accredited.  I graduated from there and found a job right away.  Same for all of my closest friends.  Disclaimer (we where all honors "EDP")

Well, you could design models for computer games, but honestly, in today's job market you'll either:\n\na. End up teaching at a third-rate technical school\nb. Do "temp work" which is code for secretarial\nor\nc. Flip Burgers\n\nWelcome to life ^^/
