CS is a very broad area and there are multiple fields within it that you can work in like Artificial Intelligence, Software Engineering, Security Engineering, Embedded Systems Engineering, etc. If you're someone who wants to get into the tech industry quickly, I would suggest trying out for fullstack engineer roles. I would suggest focusing on data structures and algorithms and mastering at least one programming language. A lot of people start out with python or javascript because they’re easier to learn compared to an object oriented language like Java or C++. Data structures and algorithms are crucial for anyone that’s trying to learn CS concepts because once you start interviewing for jobs, most of these jobs will focus on your ability to solve problems using common data structures like linked lists, arrays, stacks, queues, etc. Try to solve questions on leetcode in different programming languages like python, javascript, java, c++, etc. Leetcode has a section of problems dedicated to just interview, from personal experience I can vouch that you can expect to get these in atleast 90% of the time. Good luck!

Dino’s Answer

You have many options! As in other fields of study or disciplines, it's what you do with your knowledge, degree, or certifications that make you a success. As a Computer Science major (also known as Computer Engineering or Software Design/Development, or Computer Information Systems, etc) can easily go to work for him/herself developing programs, or for a company that develops and sells software for many applications... like gaming, healthcare, communications, security, etc. You can also work for a company who doesn't sell software but needs software developers/cybersecurity experts to help maintain/protect their company's information systems. Applying your Computer Science degree along with a great attitude, perseverence, and teamwork will bring you a fulfilling career!
