By 2018, current government projections show that more than 800,000 high-end computing jobs will be created in the economy, making it one of the fastest growing occupational fields.
Five of the top ten fastest growing jobs will be in computing-related fields (i.e., computer software engineer jobs expected to grow 45% over the next five to seven years).
Computer science and computer engineering bachelor degrees are in high demand and command two of the top three average salary offers from employers among all majors.
According to the Department of Labor’s recent projections for employment trends, computer science and technology oriented employment is expected to increase by 32 percent from 2008-2018, which means these fields are growing much faster than average for all occupations in the United States.
