Computers are an essential part of everyday life for most Americans. The increasing use of them both at work and in people’s homes has led to a seemingly endless number of careers involving computer science. A degree in this innovative field can help you to become a part of this exciting and rapidly expanding field.
A career as a computer hardware engineer is one of the many options available to you with a computer science degree. People working in this field can currently earn an average of over $100,000 per year for designing computers and their systems, installing those systems, as well as testing them for potential problems.
Of course, these computers also need software and other programs to operate efficiently. Computer software engineers help to create and update basic operating systems as well as other applications, such as word processing and e-mail programs. They may also design databases or even games to help users work more efficiently and have more fun in their free time. Read the rest of this entry »
Technology and Science Careers Merge
Posted by admin in Science Careers on November 15, 2011
Do you remember how ten or twenty years ago, if you were in a certain industry such as healthcare, the lines were cut and dry – you were healthcare professional. Well, those lines are so rigid anymore. The lines between technology and science have really begun to blur with more technical people learning sciences and more healthcare professionals learning about technology. Some examples of that would include forensic science, case management, geriatric care management, genetics, artificial intelligence technician, aqua culturist, bionic electron technologist, computational linguist, cryonics technician and dialysis technologist to name a few.
Technology has been rampant in healthcare from medical records to surgery. Think about the last time you visited the doctor. Was the medical secretary sitting in front of a computer? 99.9% of the time the answer would be yes! Most medical records are computerized now and you need to have those technical skills along with the medical knowledge.
Healthcare has also been rampant in technology. There isn’t much that happens in the healthcare world without the benefit of technology. Technology is responsible for the creation of those medical record forms as well as everything else from taking your blood pressure to doing complicated surgeries. Read the rest of this entry »
