Careers in Computer Science

Since you are viewing a web page, it is probably safe to assume that you are already aware of the importance of computers and information technology in the modern world. Here are some resources on careers in computer science:

  • ACM Computing Careers - The Association for Computing Machinery maintains this website, which contains a wide variety of articles on computer science careers, job forecasts, salary trends, and much more.
  • IEEE Career Resources - The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Computer Society maintains this page, which doesn't contain much detail but does give general information on computer science degrees and job fields.

A good overall general resource on career information is the Occupational Outlook Handbook, published each year by the U.S. Department of Labor (Bureau of Labor Statistics). You can search the handbook for various careers and find information just as salary statistics, working conditions and job outlook.
