Computer Engineering
As we know, "Computer engineers are involved in the design and development of operating systems, compilers and other software that requires efficient interfacing with the components of the computer" [1]. Computer Engineering is most appropriate for my future plans. It will challenge my skills to learn how to design and develop hardware and software. Even though there are disadvantages pursuing a career in Computer Engineering, there are also advantages such as what it takes to become a Computer Engineer, the job itself, and future goals. To have a Computer Engineering major, I would have to attend college. In college, I want to earn a master 's degree because I would have more experience and knowledge rather than just earning a bachelor 's degree. The enrollment of engineering has increased over the years. As an undergrad I would have choices to go to grad school, do an internship, or do Co-op. A good percentage of computer engineering graduates go to graduate school. I will choose to go to grad school. There will be hard work and dedication in order to pursue this career. There are many different jobs available in Computer Engineering. I could work with communications, design or programming, and consulting services under Computer Engineering. I think I would enjoy designing and programming computers more than anything. I say this because when I was younger I enjoyed designing different things on the web; in high school a teacher taught me how to program codes. So, this is what I will most likely purse my career in under Computer Engineering. While pursuing this career, one would notice the great salary. The higher ones education in college the more income one would receive while working. The salary for a Computer Engineering with a master 's degree is around $61,000, but the starting salary with a bachelor 's degree is around $54,000. I will expect to earn around $61,000 or a little more because I will pursue a
