2. A Newly Evolving Field

Several industries have been revolutionized by the advent of computer software. These industries include the financial sector, insurance, medical, and government. In particular, the financial sector has large computer main frames that still dominate the industry. Slowly over the past few decades, government has converted paperless records.

Whenever paper is not used, software applications are used to control and store the computer data. This provides greater demand for software engineers. The demand comes in two different forms.

One form of demand is the increase in demand for new software applications. The other type of demand occurs as the result of the increase in maintenance on the existing software. Computer software does not require the same type of maintenance as mechanical engineering projects do. In other words, software maintenance does not require tightening screws, changing the oil in a combustible engine, or anything physical. Software engineering constantly requires bug fixes and the addition of new functionality to previously written software programs.

3. Why Software Engineering?

A career in software engineering carries a tremendous amount of benefits, and of course, a few negatives. Although every software engineering job is unique, most software engineers essentially have similar job descriptions. Let’s start with the positives.

Universal to all software engineering jobs is time staying off your feet and sitting at a desk. This is a blessing for anyone who worked as a bartender or waited tables in a restaurant and spent a lot of time on their feet all day. Most software engineers work at least eight-hour days, with most of that time spent at their desks.

Most software engineering positions have flexible working hours. It varies depending upon your employer, but since software engineers mostly work on their computers, all they need is a laptop and a Virtual Private Network connection to work anywhere. A majority of employers will provide some level of flexibility in working hours.

How about compensation for software engineers? Typically, salary is very good compared to other white-collar professions. Compensation comes in the form of salary and benefits. In addition to salary, benefits include medical, dental, and life insurance based upon some weekly payroll deductions. Another benefit is matching 401k or stock options. Although stock options are becoming more rare, matching 401k contributions provide an opportunity to save “free” money: free, meaning money that your employer matches based on your level of contribution.

In addition to the good pay, software engineering continues to grow as a field. Although outsourcing of domestic software engineering jobs has occurred recently, the industry continues to grow with domestic, well-paid jobs. A majority of employed software engineers will recommend a career in this field, but the same cannot be said for employees in other professions.

4. Getting Started As A Software Engineer

How does a person get started in a software engineering career? Well, this depends upon several factors. One of them is your current age, and age should not be taken as a negative factor. If you are still in high school, stay in school and continue on through college. In college, pick a major in computer science or software engineering.

Not all schools offer a software engineering major. The difference between software engineering as a college major, and one in computer science, tends to be more theoretical, and software engineering offers more real-world practicality. If you are considering studying beyond college, and going to graduate school, then a major in computer science will further prepare your advancement.

If you already have an established career in a different field, then converting to software engineering does not necessarily require a four-year degree. You could get an associate’s degree or work towards a technical certification. Since you already have proven yourself in a different field, you simply must prove to a prospective employer that you have competent computer programming skills. This may require some creativity on your part. One way is to write code for a specific web page. Then, on your resume you could put the URL links to your work. Be certain that you can explain the web page, so the interviewer does not think the work belongs to someone else, and always be truthful on your resume.
