Career Paths for Computer Science Majors
Career Paths for Computer Science Majors
In the computer science industry, the amount of job opportunities and career paths available are ever-growing. Let’s lay out a few of those career paths to help you better understand what you want.
I didn’t mention every career path, and I didn’t go into full detail on those I mentioned. As I said in the video, I’m just giving an overall idea of a few careers to hopefully help others understand a few of their options.

funny, i didn’t even take Computer Science Degree and still Learning Both of these
watched this video before I went back to university. watching this again after taking 2 semesters of computer science. I understand more now. great video.
Ur an IT guy just face it
U look like the actor that play batman
Did he just listed node js as a front end?
Cringe when you said plethora. Who even uses that word
Can i become an artificial intelligence specialist after doing bachelors in Computer science
Thxs for the information
Now i’m scared to go into this field.
why not both? If you can manage it .
Is it me or the backgroud on the computer is just a Russian flag?🇷🇺
He shared his nude between sec 41-42 in 25. frame (watch it in slow mo)
I relate so much to your blue collar history. Growing up in the South, I had never heard of programming until I was 20 and a laid-off welder, then was hooked. Congrats on everything!
I’m more than half way through my major and I haven’t really put any thought into what job I’d like to pursue, thanks for the info.
Why did you decide iOS development?
In 2 years I’m gonna study IT
I know it’s still early but anybody got any advice?
Thinking about taking a coding Bootcamp at Colombia university in NYC. What is your opinion on that route. Also after that should I continue working on my degree or get a job after that .
I am from India ,Iamwatchingyourvideosall
i really hope i get my grades to do this at university, going to have to actually care about my education for once.
I’ve been going back and forth watching videos about Computer Science and IT work because as a kid I knew it was always going to be my passion, I always knew my career had to be something that I had been sharpening since I was young because I had a genuine interest in it.
I’m now in 9th grade and We have a sort of career track program that We have to take and I made the hard decision of taking the ICT (Information and communications technology) strand which means for the next 4 years, from 9th to 12th grade, I will be completely focused-in on things starting from Basic Robotics, robotics programming, then moving up to advanced Web Design, then Junior Programming.
And this video has really helped me a lot on finding comfort in this, because for the past few years, despite this being my forte, I started being interested in other things, poetry, art, science in other fields, humanities, business, etc…
I guess I started getting worried that I might be making the wrong decision, so I took to finding what job opportunities I could have with this, and this video has helped me to open my eyes a lot, since even if I thought that IT and Computer Science is very-large nowadays, I never knew what it actually was going to entail me, and I really had no one else except for the resources I had on YouTube and the internet to know what I was getting into. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for sharing your video, it is opening my mind a bit more to my field ^_^
Is it possible to do masters in electrical or aerospace engineering after majoring in computer science? 🙁🙁
Tnx for informetion
Interested in Web developer here in Nigeria
What about Artificial Intelligence?
(super new to this field) does this apply to software engineering? (sorry for my bad English >,<)
Actually, most of these jobs are not computer science exclusive, most computing-related degrees will teach you the background needed to become a professional at least in one of this 8 jobs, mainly web dev and IT jobs (some of those don’t even require a degree though). If we think about the software layers we will have three main kinds of software: user’s software, systems’ software and "hardware’s software". Computer Science stays with the systems software, which is responsible to link the other two layers, some examples are Compilers and Operating Systems. Since user’s software is the one with most on demand, most people with some programming knowledge end up working developing this kind of solution. The software industry is really flexible about degree if you have an IT degree and want to work as a frontend developer, you may just learn how to do the job and then someone may hire you, noticing that some jobs are harder to get than others. Like, if you don’t hold a cs degree and want to work as a mobile developer, you can be hired if you built a cool portfolio. However, if you want to be a compilers engineer than it can be more challenging.
Great vid
mine threw away c and start using python…..
If I go to JUnior college
embedded programmer
Is it weird that web development on my university is in IT sector? There is also CS which is more mathematical, theory focused.
ComSci or IT?
There’s also the possibility of going to law school for IT law
you forgot the QA with emphasis on automation, automation testing is on a hot plate right now… as many companies sway away from manual testing and rather have a small robust team that can automate 70-80% of testing in a development cycle… especially with an agile methodology where new build that need to be tested comes out every 2 weeks or so….
Am I only one who thinks his yt name suits his beard
degree programs are for enslaved losers…
sir Im an 1st year IT student, can i get a programming job in the future?currently programming subjects stuff was included in IT course.
@ForrestKnight can you do a video about opportunities with just an aas in computer science please?
No ml uh!?
Thoughts on being a web developer?
Hello ForrestKnight I am really impressed by your video cause I am really interested in Computer Science and now I am further Determined and thank you for increasing my love with coding and I have subscribed you and liked you and commented.. Thank you. Bye bye. Pray for me so that I don’t detract from my interest..
Going into college for a CS diploma. In truth, I didn’t really have a goal in mind. I started wanting to program to make games. But as I learned more about computers and how they were made. I thought to myself "It would be so beneficial if you could fix or build a computer from spare parts if your laptop went down."
But there are other fields I have interests in as well. I’ve been thinking about artificial intelligence and game design. Thinking of experimenting on new ways of making games rather than following the same old formula. And also emulation.
The thing is. These things I’ve mentioned are all based on personal interests. Fields that I wish to go into to improve my understanding of CS.
When it comes to work-related fields. I’m thinking about becoming a web developer, working online. Or if it’s in a real office, a computer engineer or technician.
The thing is. I feel like I’d be very unsatisfied if I leave out hardware or software. I’d like to implement them together to fully feel accomplished in my learning journey.
Sorry for the long rant here. This took me over a year to fully come to a decision as to what I want to be and what to do when I get my CS diploma.
After i heard this man mention script kiddie i started hating him smh
dood you can do game / web programming as well as hacking as a career with infotech degree because that’s what I’m doing
What school did you go to? Thanks so much for the professional video! For once a video that doesn’t have profanity and I can watch with my younger guys.
Is this still relevant? I’ve been told that Java is dying out. I’ve been told that Python is so versatile that it’s taking the place of Java and C and pretty much all OOP. Even though Python can use that too.
Subtitles stoped at half of the video why🤨
This was so helpful thx 🙂
I’ll just drop out and join the plumbers union
