Computer Programming School and Education
There were a half-million computer programmer jobs in 2002, across almost every industry, according to the U.S. Labor Dept. A computer programming school and its education can prepare you to win one of them.
The U.S. Dept. of Labor recommends that your prospects are best if you gain expertise in a variety of programming languages and tools—“including C++ and other object-oriented languages such as Java, as well as newer, domain-specific languages that apply to computer networking, database management, and Internet application development. Obtaining vendor-specific or language-specific certification also can provide a competitive edge.”
“Because demand fluctuates with employers' needs,” says the Labor Dept., “jobseekers should keep up to date with the latest skills and technologies. Individuals who want to become programmers can enhance their prospects by combining the appropriate formal education with practical work experience.”
Median annual earnings of computer programmers were $60,290 in 2002, according to Labor Department statistics. The highest 10 percent earned more than $96,860.
According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers, starting salary offers for graduates with a bachelor's degree in computer programming averaged $45,558 a year in 2003.
The Department of Labor predicts that the number of jobs in programming will grow about as fast as the average for all occupations. However it will grow less fast than in other computer specialties.
