CJ Career Exploration

The career I want to pursue is that of a computer programmer or a lawyer. I am


leaning more towards computer programmer at the moment but my interest in being a
lawyer has motivated me to take these classes. The career of a computer programmer
piqued my interest because I have always done well with computers. They have always
interested me. I have always been fascinated by the coding and how it works. So, I
would like to pursue and expand my knowledge in this field. My original love for
computers stemmed from my love for gaming. I have always wondered about the
behind the scenes of gaming and how it works. Which has led me to computers and
coding. Since computer programming is more full proof than game designing I would
rather pursue that career instead. As a side job, if I am able to get a career as a
computer programmer, I hope to create my own game. Another reason why I chose this
job is because of the income. According to the Bureau Labor of Statistics computer
programmers make anywhere from $93k to $129k a year. Software developers make
the most income. This is the department I want to get into. It would greatly benefit me to
get ahead in life and be where I want to be. This career will allow me to achieve a lot of
my big life goals. Of course income isn’t the only reason why I want this job. I am truly
passionate about this career.
In order for me to pursue this career I would need a bachelor’s degree in
computer and information technology or a related field such as mathematics. It would
boost my chances to get accepted into a job in this field if I could get an internship as
well. A computer science degree will also help me in understanding new computer
languages easier. I may have to take additional seminars and classes even after I get
the job as well. This is due to technology constantly advancing and growing. It would
greatly benefit me since I can learn new languages and update my knowledge on
languages I previously learned. I may also need to get certified in some products if my
job requires it. In this career I would need to understand how to read and communicate
with computers. As well as build and make updates to software. Learning how to read
and comprehend date will also help with this career.
This career benefits society as a whole since our entire lives depend on
technology. Without computer programmers we wouldn’t have phones, TVs, video
games, or even the computer I am using right now to type this essay. It is used to create
the software that we use in our everyday lives. This career as well as the people who
work these careers are the backbone of society nowadays. Since we depend on
technology so much. We use it to communicate to each other and it makes our lives a
whole lot easier. Although being called computer programming this career develops
software for a variety of different things. They create these softwares to enable us to do
a lot more with them such as create the programming that goes into the car and the
machines that enable us to print the parts for them. Computer programmers are also
responsible for a big part of the government’s digital transformations. They have made it
possible for us to easily access information about our government. People in this field
are also a big part of marketing and business. They have played a big part in the
e-commerce community. These people have allowed us to conveniently buy things from
our couches rather than having to go out and get it ourselves.
I hope to master at least 3 programming languages in this career field. This will
allow me to be able to get a better job and be flexible in this field. It would benefit me
greatly to keep up with these languages and be able to do them very well. This will also
help me in my ultimate goal that I hope to achieve which is to create my own video
game. I hope to have a high paying job as a software engineer. If I achieve this goal
then maybe I can start getting commissions to work on video games. I also want to be
able to help anyone else to achieve their passions in this field. When I get into this
career and be promoted to a higher level. I want to give people in college internships
and mentor them to get a job as I did. An educational goal of mine is that I want to get
my bachelors degree in computer science and mathematics. Also, I would want a
masters degree in computer science. Maybe I will try to achieve this after I get my
bachelors though. Since I would need a stable source of income. I would also like a
bachelors in law so I can default to a lawyer if my main career falls through. It will also
come in handy in case someone I know needs help with becoming a lawyer or
understanding the system
