So. It finally begins, once more. The job hunt. Hopefully, this time is more successful than the last. I’ve tried hard these past 2 years. To learn as much as I can from my classes and my readings. To be pliable, open to new technologies and languages. And still, I can’t help but fear that little voice in my head worrying I’ll fail again. That all my effort will be in vain once more, and I’ll have another degree that won’t launch myself into the job market, even though everything I’ve read and heard about computer science tells me the opposite.
I realize I don’t know everything computer science related, but then again, who does? There’s so much material, so many languages, environments, and toolkits. But, with what I have learned, I’m fairly confident this time. There’s more to know, but my career options are more varied than they ever have been. I could pursue software development, data analysis, web development, backend, server management, database management, mobile development, cloud, and more. And if I learned more, game development, machine learning, or VR/AR. The possibilities really are more varied, and although I still need to put in the effort, the opportunity is there as well.
And so, with all this newfound knowledge of the past 2 years, I’ve begun my hunt. I’m not sure which field of computer science I’ll end up in just yet. With knowledge of C, Python, Javascript, SQL, as well as Flutter/dart, though I certainly only know a handful of computer languages, I’ve worked with object-oriented and procedural languages, databases, as well as a mobile development toolkit that support cross development. I’m certain I’ll learn more from here, but the fundamentals (and likely a little more) are under my belt. At the moment, I’m leaning toward mobile development, but I also wouldn’t mind a position as a developer if the right position came along. I suppose I’ll just have to see what comes into purview of my abilities.
