What are Computer Science graduates supposed to do?

If you are a graduate in Computer Science or Computing, what are the jobs you are supposed to do after graduation? What are the jobs you usually do?





Of course, some people will say they can be programmers, some say they even assembled and sell computers. However, these jobs are more appropriate for technical college students.

You get a job with a high tech firm like Nokia or Samsung. You become part of a design team that determines who is going to make me spend my next $299 on some new device that I can't live without, but have been doing just fine- up to know.
Reply:Welcome to the world of IT. Where you will find that a Computer Science degree doesn't put you up on the totem pole at all. Really. I love your comment "these jobs are more appropriate for technical college students". You will find out the hard way that in the REAL world of IT, it is what you can prove that you can actually do, not what a piece of paper says you should be able to do that makes a difference. My wife and I both rose to the very top position in our respective IT careers (VB programming and DBA/SQL programming). We both have no more than a high school education and some certifications. So get ready. You will have to take one of those jobs that you feel you are too educated for. I got started as a data entry person, then worked my way into a data tester position, then a code tester, then a coder, then a business analyst and so on as I proved my worth. My wife started as a secretary! I love it when these new kids come in and interview and when the technical interview, with specifics about real life situations are asked and all they have is a piece of paper. I'm not downing you, I just think you were mislead into thinking you could do more with a computer science degree than you really can. Unless you are really really good and can get a letter from your profs. Maybe get on at a computer lab or development place.
Reply:I think they would set up larger more comprehensive computer systems in which several computer programs would run simultaneously. For example, perhaps an entire system for accounting that could run a/p. a/r, payroll, budgeting, etc. And then they would of course set up the entire system for the company that would be able to run all of the programs in all of the systems for each and every department
Reply:Programmers and network admins are not technical. Those are the ones you should go for. Network admins make the most money. Don't you have a guidance counselor to talk to?
Reply:Everyone I know with a Computer Science degree is in one of two fields they are either Programmers or Technology Support people in the Networking area.
