Careers, Salaries & Lifetime Income By Tate 3/19/2023 My career choices My two chosen careers: 1. Software Developer ● I chose this because I enjoy everything computers, I’ve started learning programming languages so it looks like a cool job! 1. Computer Hardware Engineer ● I also love building computers, so designing the parts inside your computer seems very interesting to me! Software Developer: Software Developers are tasked with creating and developing websites, programs, and other applications that run on computers or other devices. I think software development is very cool and not to mention, the pay is great! Computer Hardware Engineer: Computer Hardware Engineers are responsible for designing, researching, developing, and building computer systems and components like chips, memory devices, and circuit boards. When I first got into computers, I started out by taking apart and putting back together an old family computer. This career is almost kinda nostalgic to my introduction to computers, which I think is really cool! Differences between Software Developers and Computer Hardware Engineer: There is a huge difference between Software Developers and Computer Hardware Engineers. Here are just a few: ● Hardware developers plan and build computer equipment and systems. ● Software developers plan and build the operating systems and applications that run on hardware. My top pick: For right now, I’d prefer to do computer hardware engineering! I love learning about the hardware for computers and I’m sure I would enjoy designing it.
