I want to become a Software Engeneer?

Hi there

You can study computer science or systems engineering, however if you want to be a programmer, I suggest you can check a computer software engineering major, so you are prepared to do that type of job. You can start studying a little basics to know if would like or not to be a programmer, basics of algorithms and logic, but if you are thinking about it now for sure you will like it, I started to like computers and systems since I was a child and continue to like it before I went to the university so I decided to study systems engineering, so go ahead take a chance!

There are plenty of online classes on the topic of how to create software. http://codecademy.com/ is just one.

You live in a world center of excellence for software engineering, so you surely can find a good mentor to give you personal advice. A mentor can be very helpful to you in planning your studies.

To be a programmer, program. What do you need? A decent laptop or desktop computer, an internet connection, and some time. Top-flight integrated software development environments, like Eclipse and Visual Studio, are free.

The biggest hazard will be that you may neglect your studies in other subjects, so be careful about that.
