Programmer
If you love computers, enroll in a programming program and learn how to use computer language to tell the computers people everywhere use every day how to operate.
Those who don’t know better think a career in computer programming is just one big bore fest but these days it is all the rage. Computer programmers held about 435,000 jobs in 2006, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Computer programmers write programs, individually or as art of a team, with detailed instructions that tell computers how to function. These programs must be tested and designed with troubleshooting and problem solving in mind as well as user accessibility.
Programmers often specialize in a specific programming language or a group of computer languages such as Java or C++ and are often designated as either an applications programmer or a systems programmer. There is one thing about programming that is consistent across the board: no matter what job you end up getting you will be spending some quality time in front of the computer. Programming is an excellent field to embark upon as the digital age continues to grow. The median salary for a programmer is $65,000. Get into some classes to stay on top of the changing programming technology. There has never been a better time to embrace the inner nerd!
