What is the employment direction of computer science and technology majors?

Written to college students majoring in computer science!

First of all, let’s talk about the purpose of entering the computer major. Personally, I like the IT industry very much and like to mess with computers, so I did not hesitate to fill in the application form in all the schools I applied for. As a computer major, I dreamed of meeting many masters and making a few confidants after entering the computer major, but I was disappointed after entering. Many students majoring in computer science did not know much about computers before, and some of them had never even touched a computer before entering college. Very few are familiar with computers, and experts are even rarer. Most of them obey their parents. It is obvious that the hottest industry in society at present is the IT industry, and the highest salary is also in the IT industry. With this factor in mind, most parents of candidates have let their children enter the computer major, and most students naively think that from then on After graduating from the computer science major, you can just sit in the office and chat with your colleagues every day, eat with your boss, sign a few words every day, and then have a high salary waiting for you to get it, just like most white-collar workers on TV.

After entering the school, they found that they actually understood nothing in the professional courses and had no interest at all. Without interest, there would be no motivation to learn. Moreover, this major relies on understanding, and interest It is the first step to cultivate their understanding. Then they will find that the further they learn professional courses, the harder it will be and the less they will understand. Those who are good at it will be more determined and study hard, and they may be able to find a way out. , if you are not good at it, you will just give up. You just need to pass the exam, graduate, and find an employer to work with peace of mind. Some people have been studying for several years and don’t even know which courses they are taking; when they take a program, they can’t tell whether it is written in C language or PASCAL; they accidentally enter DOS and don’t know how to get back to WINDOWS. But when it comes to games, everyone seems to be a professional player, and some just hang out in Internet cafes every day. This is the tragedy of the next generation of Chinese computer talents!

Let’s talk about the study and life of current computer major college students. Most students majoring in computer science know nothing about the development and prospects of their major. They spend their days reading novels, playing games, watching movies, playing cards, drinking, sleeping and other "promising" things. Occasionally, I saw one or two classmates reading books related to computer majors, and I ran to get them. They were all "game guides", "hacker secrets" and other such books. There are also people who don’t even understand C language and who C is, so they take a VC book and “study hard”. I really don’t know if they understand it. Many students have bought computers, but they only use them as game consoles + disc players + stereos. They use computers every day to play various popular games, watch the latest blockbusters, and listen to fashionable music, but they do not use computers to study. Some students even asked me what else the computer can be used for besides playing games. I asked him why you asked that, and he told me that he thought the computer could only be used for playing games and didn't know if it could be used for anything else. As far as I know, in recent years, the graduation project of computer science graduates from several universities in China is to make web pages. After four years in college, they have completed professional courses such as "Data Structure", "Software Engineering", and "C Language". Finally, I actually handed over something that a person who had never studied computers could do by himself in a day or two!

This is the case for most computer science students. After I played in college for two years, I suddenly understood that it was time to plan for my future, but there are still many people who still don’t understand anything. Hence this article.

If you are the kind of student who is ordered by your parents to learn computers as I mentioned above, if you read the article "For Friends Who Want to Be Programmers" in the 15th issue of "Computer Application Digest" Finally, I found that I have no desire to be a programmer, so I have a few options for you to choose from:

1. **Web page production, and work on websites in the future!

2. Learn 3D MAX and other software to make animations!

3. Learn art design!

4. **Network, take the CCNA exam in the future, and go to professional networking!

5. On the premise of ensuring that you can graduate successfully, go play games crazily, become a professional player or be the GM of one or several online games. (There are such people around me)

6. The above five items are all related to computers and require certain professional knowledge, but they are much simpler than your professional courses. If you still don’t feel that there is something suitable for you after reading this, then this is the best option for you: study a double degree in your school and major in a major that interests you. Computer science is really not suitable for you!

If the above items are suitable for you, then you should work hard to find the world that suits you and read the next article in the magazine. If you read the following text, it will only waste your time. .

If you are a college student majoring in computer science and want to be a programmer, then please read below:

1. College life is rich and colorful and will be unforgettable in your life. But there are many ways to be unforgettable. You can learn a lot of things and be unforgettable, or you can be unforgettable because you learned nothing!

2. Computer science is a very boring major, but once you get there, you’ll be content with it. As long as you study hard, you will also find the fun in it.

3. Remember: tall buildings rise from the ground! The foundation is very important, especially professional basic courses. Only by laying a good foundation can you learn more deeply.

4. C language is the foundation and very important. If you don’t learn C language well, you won’t be able to learn any high-level language well.

5. C language and C language are two different things. Just like giant pandas and red pandas, only their names are very similar!

6. Please study the professional courses "Data Structure" and "Principles of Computer Composition" first. Don't read it with a VC book at the beginning. You can't even understand object-oriented, and there is no use reading VC. .

7. After you have a certain understanding of programming, you can learn C. (It's C, not VC. These two are two different things! C is a language, and the VC tutorial explains how to use the MFC class library. Learning VC should be based on a full understanding of C. Read VC books, yes You can’t learn C language.)

8. The secret to learning programming is: programming, programming, programming again;

9. Study every professional course carefully, that’s what you’ll get rice bowl.

10. Even if you make 10,000 mistakes in the school laboratory, no one will scold you. If you are in the company, give it a try! So I go to the lab more and use the computer more. I make more mistakes now, but I will make fewer mistakes after graduation.

11. From now on, you must develop good habits when writing programs.

12. Don’t miss any exercises in the book - please finish them all and record your ideas for solving the problems.

13. You will buy a lot of reference books, so please input the program examples in the book into the computer for practice, even if the source code is included in the supporting CD.

14. Things like VC, C#, and .NET will become obsolete. What will not become obsolete are data structures and excellent algorithms!

15. Remember: You will regret less when you use the book.

Don't let this happen to you. You have enough time and conditions to read in school. Read more. If you have the conditions, read more original books. You have to know that when a translator translates a book, he will know everything about it. If I put his ideas into a book, the book would become useless!

16. I still emphasize listening carefully to professional courses, because some courses are like "Data Structure", "Compilation Principles", "Operating System", etc. In such courses, the teacher can teach you something that can be understood in one minute. , it will take you several months to see it yourself, and some may even take years to understand.

17. Seize various practical opportunities in school and accumulate experience for yourself. Experience is more useful than anything else when you are employed.

18. Go to the library more often. There are many good books waiting for you to read in every school library!

19. Programming is not a technical job, but a physical job.

20. If you decide to be a good programmer, then please give up gaming, unless you are the kind of genius who can write good programs just by playing games every day!

21. You must have enough resilience and perseverance! An expert asked a question to test your resilience and perseverance: Find a table of prime numbers within 10,000, copy them all, and then check them three times. If you can complete this task without interruption, you can meet this requirement. .

22. Find your own learning method! Don't blindly follow other people's methods, what suits you is the best!

23. Please love the job of being a programmer!

Some of the above words are based on my experience, and some are copied directly from experts, but they are all useful. Remember them and follow them, and you will definitely succeed!

For most beginners, many people have this problem: What should I learn first? Learn C/C? Or study VC? Or should I learn Borland C Builder? Or Delphi? Which one is better? What is the relationship between learning programming and learning programming languages? How should beginners choose? Regarding these issues, I read this passage from an expert, which can help people who have problems in this regard: Learning programming is like learning to shoot, and programming languages ??correspond to air guns, pistols, rifles, etc. in shooting. Various firearms. To learn to shoot, you must choose a firearm. It is impossible to learn to shoot well without a gun, and it is impossible to learn to use all firearms at the same time. However, if you master the shooting of one kind of firearm, learning other firearms will be by analogy. Because while becoming familiar with a firearm, you also learn the shooting technique itself. If you learn other things, you will get twice the result with half the effort. The same is true for learning programming. You must start by learning a programming language. After learning the systematic programming concept, it doesn’t matter what tools you use!

The reason why I wrote this article is because I saw so many classmates around me who were "not doing their jobs properly" and wasted their studies. I was so anxious that I was wasted for several years. I watched Microsoft Windows change from 3. X to the current 2003 Server, but China's software industry is still standing still. Do we really have to wait for Microsoft to change the name of its operating system every year, and do we have to pay it once? Why don't we keep such huge profits for ourselves? Why don't we let other countries pay us? This is a common dream for the majority of Chinese programmers. The people who want to realize this dream are the "quasi-programmers" who are still in college. They are the hope of China's software tomorrow! I hope that after reading this article, the majority of college students in the computer industry will wake up from sleep, stop playing games, and come out from Internet cafes, pick up textbooks together, sit in front of the computer, and use programs to write the future of China's software industry of brilliance.
