Computer Programming
For my career I chose computer programming. Computer progamming is an occupation
that deals with working with computers and technology. This career will require you to write
computer programs for various purposes. Computer programmers will have to know knowledge
of circuit boards, processors, chips, electronic equipment, computer hardware and software,
including applications and progamming.
Some core tasks for this career will require you to interact with computers, this includes
hardware and software. You will also have to make decision and problem solve, this will require
you to analyze information and evaluate results to choose the best solution and solve problems.
Another work activity will be getting information and you will do observing, receiving, and
obtaining information from all relevant sources. Another core task is to write computer
programming code and to test software performance. You will need to identify object, actions,
and events by categorizing, estimating, recognizing differences or similarities. This will require
you to see different changes in events. You will need to communicate with computer operators
to define and resolve problems in running computer programs. One more core task you will be
required to complete as a computer programmer is you will need to resolve computer software
problems. This will require you to look in depth into the code of the program and discover why
something is not working correctly.
There are many skills and abilites you will need to have as a computer programmer.

Some of them are you will need to write computer programs for various purposes. Another skill
you will need as a computer programmer is you will need to be a complex problem solver, which
will be to identify complex problems and reviewing related information to develop options and
find solutions. Mathematics is a large part of computer programming, you will need to know
knowledge of arithmetic, algebra, geometry, calculus, and statistics. One last skill you will need
as a computer programmer is you will be required to critically think. You will have to critically
think to find differant ways and options to diffent problems.
The education needed for computer programming is typically a bachelor's degree. Some
work places will hire computer programmers with an associate's degree. Typically there won't be
on-the-job training once you have a job in this occupation. You won't need any work experience
to be a computer programmer. Fifty percent of computer programmers have a bachelor's degree
and nineteen percent have a master's degree. Most companies and work places will want or
require that computer programmers have a bachelor's degree or even a higher degree than that.
Basically no companies will hire you if you don't have any sort of college or further education
other than a high school diploma.
The potential earnings for a computer programmer is pretty decent. The median salary in
Pennsylvania is $70,900. The lower spectrum of salary in Pennsylvania is $41,700-$54,500 and
the higher spectrum of salary in Pennsylvania is $90,600-$112,900. The potential earnings for
the higher spectrum is very good. The median salary in the United States for a computer
programmer is $76,100. The lower salary is $43,600-$57,900 and the higher salary is $97,800123,500. The potential earnings for a computer programmer in the United States is very good.
The job prospects for computer programming is very high. With the world using

technology on a daily basis it is a very good career to look into. The world is gonna need more
and more computer programmers to write code and to maintain all of the technology to basically
keep the world running smooth because of our dependency on technology. It is not a bad
occupation to look into. There won't be a shortage of job oppurtunities as a computer
programmer.
This is my career paper on computer programming. It looks like it will be a job I will
look into in the coming future. There will be plenty of job oppurtunities for a computer
programmer that it looks like a solid occupation to go for, for hopefully a lot of people because
computer programmers will be needed to maintain everybodies daily lives.
