Individuals pursuing education and
careers in computer science can understand the factors driving this remarkable
evolution in the field, adapt to technological advancements, and explore
potential occupations. Some key factors driving this advancement of technology
include machine learning, artificial intelligence (AI), and the Internet of
Things (IoT). Understanding these key factors, future computer science
professionals can explore career occupations offered, such as software
engineer, data scientist, cybersecurity analyst, and computer programmer/scientist,
and these are just a few out of many. This research highlights the high demand
for computer science. It identifies the key factors contributing to this expansion
and the skills to stay relevant in the continuous developments in the field. This
research aims to positively influence long-term career outcomes and job
satisfaction by examining the driving forces behind this expansion. With the
help of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, this paper explains the
accurate numbers and information to compute occupation growth over the past few
years and examples of careers in the computer science field. ‘Mathematics
and Computer Science’ is a multi-volume set that helps individuals learn
new concepts and fundamentals to help computer science professionals continue
learning in an evolving field.
