Hey guys! I’m 19 and I’m planning to go to a community college to take on Computer Software Engineering and I was wondering if there are any notable university’s that I should consider transferring to. I live in Vegas and I was really looking at any of the University’s in California (love it there!) or Washington since Microsoft HQ is there and it might be easier to get an internship *shrug*.

If anyone has any experience in this or anything, I’d love to know what your thought’s are! Thanks a ton to everyone who responds!

Can you major in Computer Science or do you have to take a major specifically called Software Engineering?

As a software engineer what kind of car and house can i own with my husband being a teacher with 2 kids?
Ps i want to live in the suburbs

what are the most important languages a software engineer must master to get good jobs?tell me which of these are hard to learn….thanx in advance

im planning to major in computer software engineering, but which major does it fall under? computer science or computer engineering?

what type of collages give courses for software engineering and how much are the courses.what stuff do i have to study what is the pay scale. If you can give me a web site to answer my question that would be great

I’m in a community college now and I plan on graduating from it with some programming knowledge, do I stop and try to find a programming job or get my computer science degree? I want to be a game programmer or maybe a software engineer, I want to have enough cash to be very comfortable. Any help???

Do you think the term software engineer is overused? I know many people who are programmers but I would not consider them software engineers since they do not architect anything and use strictly software to program. I personally feel that software engineers create software for specialized hardware and have to understand hardware to do so.

I work as an embedded software engineer and find that other "software engineers" will simply create GUI’s or program against SQL Server and use .NET. Do you think software engineers is overused or maybe even shouldn’t be an "engineer" at all? (Again, I personally think they are engineers when they create against specific hardware and interact with mechanical and electrical engineers and know a lot about their stuff also).

I’ve been hearing that it’s difficult, but after checking out BLS I see that job outlook seems to be increasing. People tell me that a lot of Chinese and Indian Software engineers are taking all the jobs.

Is it, or has it been your experience that computer software engineers have a hard time finding jobs?
By steady jobs, I mean jobs that they don’t lose.

I am currently working as a software engineer for a major telecom company in the Midwest and I’m doing great. However, ever since I was a kid, I have wanted to work for the UN or a similar agency. It may not perfect considering the recent reform ideas being floated, but it’s the closest thing we have to a worldwide organization that works for progress in all parts of the world.

Does anyone have guidance for how I can get into the UN in the next 3 to 5 years? Eventually I would like to do something with international public policy or international finance for development projects. I am willing to consider all options including public policy graduate school and business graduate school. I have taken a practice GMAT and scored in the 90+ percentile. Paying for the tuition would not be an issue and I don’t mind taking a pay cut now, but eventually I would like to make a decent income to support a family in NYC.

Any specific or general advice would be highly appreciated. Thank you.
