Top Engineering Jobs

Like the architects that helped push the European Renaissance forward hundreds of years ago, the computer engineering of today create the underpinning and framing of the digital world that surrounds us. In the infancy of the internet, it was possible to qualify for positions in this field without a formal education. Decades later, though, high-paying software engineering jobs in this field require a bachelor’s degree at minimum.

The best candidates for software engineering jobs are those with a combination of creativity, analytical skills and a driving interest in the mechanics of bytes, megabits and microprocessors. This means that the field is dominated by men, but with a 21 percent increase in available computer engineering jobs over the next decade, opportunities for women will surely increase.

When choosing among computer engineering schools, look for coursework that will familiarize you with multiple programming languages such as Java, C++ and Python. You will also want classes in computer systems administration, internet programming, data structures and algorithms and database design. A minority of jobs are available for those who only hold certificates in specific programs or who have earned associates degrees, but a four-year software engineer degree will guarantee employment. A specialized master’s degree in computer arts or computers and business can result in even higher pay.

In the world of business, software engineering jobs can be found either at companies that specialize in computers or, increasingly, at companies that require in-house software to accomplish tasks such as billing, database management and even email and online advertising. The average salary for an engineer is more than $90,000, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Generally speaking, compensation grows the more education, specialization and experience you obtain. Continue Reading
