Software engineer: 

Software engineer is a good choice for me. Because I’m interested in computer, sitting in front of a computer will not be a boring job. In addition, my mathematics is also my strength, so I have a very good foundation in writing code algorithms. Compared with my major, this career fits me very well. Since my major is computer science and information, I can finish the programming in four years in OSU. I’m very pleased with the salary. According to the Payscale, the average salary for a Software Engineer is $86,005, which is very enough. It’s very fortunately that Popular Skills for Software Engineers is java which is I’m studying now. Years of Experience is a point of making better salary. An entry-level Software Engineer with less than 1 year experience can earn an average total of $75,627. According to the statistic, an early career Software Engineer with 1-4 years of experience earns an average total of $83,085. A mid-career Software Engineer with 5-9 years of experience earns an average total of $93,767. An experienced Software Engineer with 10-19 years of experience earns an average total of $103,825. And the most important is the level of satisfaction is very high in software engineering. I consider the satisfaction lever is more important than salary, because satisfaction means the happiness of this job.

 

Account:

Account is not a good choice for me. Even though it has very high hourly wage, it is very boring in my thought. Average accountant salary is 51,336$ which is very high. My intended major is computer Science which has nothing to do with accounting. Despite of Mathematics is my strong point, working with numbers every day is still boring for me. The website displays that in LA , California, employees with an accounting title earn an average of 14.9 percent more than the national average. In Seattle, Washington (up 14.4 percent) and New York, New York (up 13.8 percent), those positions also paid more than average. So for accountant, LA, Seattle , Washington and New York are more better place to work. And there are twice as many women as men in this occupation. I understand that a girl’s detailed personality is more suitable for this job.
