Do you have a Computer Science degree or "CS"
Do you have a Computer Science degree or "CS" ?
I need to know who has a Computer Science degree and how it has worked out for them. As potential employers scout for new "recruits" to employee their company with on campus visits,I would like to know if 48K a year is too low? I have a good friend that was offered 63K, am I being low balled? I live in Florida. (just in case someone says "depends where you live". And to be even more specific, I live in the panhandle. Thank you.

The 48K figure is probably normal for someone with a degree but no experience. My degree is CIS (Computer Information Systems) degree but starting pay should be equivalent. The 63K is great if you can get it but keep in mind that you are lucky to get anything right now. If you got the 63K job expectations might be higher as to what you can do and they might wash you out after a few months or a year. If you hold out for more $$$ you could end up waiting on people at McDonalds. Don't get greedy and blow the chance as this is obviously your first job in this field. In 2-4 years you can survey things and see if you can find a better deal. You will have this job on your resume and can search from a stronger position. There are a number of experienced IT professionals on the street looking for work and you are competing with them. The only reason these companies are giving you the time of day is that they want to get teachable young folks and mold them into company employees that will be around for many years. Weigh this opportunity carefully as it might be the only one you see... Best wishes

You mean a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science? Yes I'd say it's useful but going to grad school will make it better.
2
It is the 21st Century, it would be very useful more and more jobs are involving technology, specifically computers
3
Yes. You can obtain certifications in specific technologies such as SAP or Microsoft or Oracle to make yourself more marketable as a practitioner.
4
If you look at something like medical science, that will be HUGE in computer science. Anything related to health care and computer science, or genetics, or bioinformatics, will be in demand. Its as simple as when they talk about electronic medical records, or realtime compute power - and storage required, for medical imaging. Other fields in science, anything related to the environment for example, always needs simultations in computer science.
5
Computer Science is an incredible major to get into as far as job opportunities exiting college. Graduating from any top 50 school and you'll be inundated with job offers. Graduating from other schools beyond that will be a little harder to find work but you'll get a well paying position eventually. Even with respect to lesser schools, I've never known anyone who graduated with a CS degree and wasn't able to find decent work in the field by the end of year.

Yes you can get good job in the computer science field.It is a competitive world so we have to gain more knowledge in the technical aspects.It is better to do certifications course along with the degree which upgrades the knowledge .There are some online sites which gives training in the certification course.
