Interesting Computer Science Jobs?
mattskent writes "I'm currently a junior in college working towards my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science. As such, I'm starting to look pretty seriously at jobs in the IT/Computer Science field. I've spent plenty of time working entry-level IT jobs doing various kinds of help desk type work, and so most of the exposure I've had to the field is related to support of other people's computers. I enjoy helping other people out, but I'd rather not be plugging things in and restarting computers the rest of my life. Although the possibility is growing on me, I don't think I would particularly love to write code all day for a living either. What are some interesting jobs that you've had or heard of that I could look into fresh out of college with a Computer Science degree?"
They will not hire you for any of those positions without a great deal of experience (5+ years) already doing it.
A computer science degree is worth toilet paper.
Enjoy the help desk.
I had an MS Office class in college.. it was half geeks and half marketing idiots. I wondered why, then I got a job in the real world.. and now i know how to deal with these computer idiots.
