A degree with computer science gets you in the door for programming. If you decide to get one of these degrees you will most likely work as a software engineer, computer network manager, security, database manager, robotics and other media involving writing computer script. You will work with computers a lot so you better like sitting down in front of a monitor for hours at a time. Some of the top businesses make good dollar from software alone, like Microsoft, so there is much to gain by getting this degree.

The US Dept. of Labor reports that computer science fields will increase nearly 25 percent in the next 5 years.
