Other than the most obvious answer like software development, what other jobs can I pursue as I approach graduation? I did a quick Google search and found some examples that I’d be possibly interested in:
- Business Analyst
- Data Scientist
- IT Specialist
- Software Tester
I’m mostly interested in the Business Analyst role, so I delved further. I found that it’s not necessary to have software or IT background in order to be a good business analyst. However, it seems that it’s useful to understand the basics of how SQL works and how a query is structured.
As much as I love coding, I’ve always been more of a people person. I’m more interested in how the work will affect me personally over how much more money I can make. I still think it’s quite early to make a decision on which coding career my path will take me. However, I think it’s beneficial to constantly be researching and taking a gander into the life of different computer science-related careers. For all I know, I could just end up working as a software developer or choose a career with less focus on programming specifically. But, I’ll worry about all that as I get closer to the end of my final semester!
