What other jobs can you apply for with a CS degree?

<p>Are there any other fields you can go into with a CS degree or would I have to get another degree for that field?</p>

<p>You can probably do any job meant for a “general engineer” or a job that just wants mathematically inclined individuals.</p>

<p>Probably won’t get too many programming jobs meant for other engineers. It’s easier to teach an X engineer to program than it is to teach a programmer a 3-year sequence of physics and engineering classes.</p>

<p>project managers, business analyst etc… but why would you do that? CS jobs actually pays quite good imo</p>

<p>Well if you get a CS degree from an Ivy League, you could get into the financial industry. A lot of engineering and CS grads from prestigious universities get recruited by financial companies.</p>

<p>^^^</p>

<p>You’ll still be doing CS stuff. And you don’t need an Ivy League CS degree to work on Wall Street. My CS degree was from the University of Alaska, Fairbanks, and when I worked on Wall Street doing fixed income analytics, I was surrounded by people from all kinds of non-Ivy League schools.</p>

<p>How long does it take to get on wall street on average if you’re not coming from any Ivy?</p>

<p>You’d get more helpful information if you said what fields and jobs you’re interested in; then, people could provide more focused advice on how you could get into those areas, and whether it’d be possible with a CS degree only.</p>

<p>Of course, if you like CS and want a job doing something CS-related, you probably don’t have much to worry about. There were around 1.3 million programming and software development/engineering jobs in 2010 in the US. Compare this to the approximately 1.3 million jobs held by all other engineering professionals in 2010 in the US. And I’m not even counting the approximately 1.3 million additional jobs in CS-related careers around system, network and database administration and analysis - other common outcomes for CS graduates.</p>
