You're considering pursuing a college degree ... possibly a degree in Computer Science. Pursuing a college degree, whether undergraduate or graduate, in any field at any university involves a considerable amount of time, effort and usually money. So it's certainly a good idea to choose a discipline and degree program carefully.

While many people are at least somewhat familiar with computers (usually a personal computer), most people don't have a very good understanding of what the discipline of "computer science" is really all about.

Similarly, while many people have "heard something" about the job market for computer scientists, most are really unaware that the current and projected outlook for computer science job opportunities is really quite good.

Here is a partial list of computer science career areas: Computer and Information Research Scientist, Computer Software Engineer, Computer Information Systems Manager, Database Administrator, Network Systems & Data Communications Analyst, Computer Programmer, Computer Support Specialist, Computer Systems Analyst, Graphics & Web Designer, Multi-Media Artist & Animator.
