you should get a computer science degree or a software engineering degree the website i have listed tells all about computer software engineers like the job prospects, earnings, nature of work, work environment, etc. and it is from the bureau of labor statistics
only low stress are the ones with little knowledge %26amp; not property educated. The ones that have an engineering degree and really know the industry %26amp; the industry they are developing for are HIGHLY STRESSED! I own my business %26amp; I've worked for large co's clueless employees only ones not stressed.

What makes software engineering a low stress job and so high paying?I'm not sure where they come up with /low/ stress? Most of the successful software developers [engineers] I know would not call their job low stress- but as far as eduacation?
``The usual college major for applications software engineers is computer science or software engineering. Systems software engineers often study computer science or computer information systems. Graduate degrees are preferred for some of the more complex jobs.'' --bls.gov
My advice- try to find something you enjoy that pays reasonably well because once hard schedules are put into the mix- even the most enjoyable tasks can lose their appeal. They call it /work/ for a reason.
I recently retired after working 30 years in information technology jobs. I think the statement that they are "low stressed' is wrong.
As a design team leader, I interviewed people asking what they wanted. Then I wrote down what they said, they reviewed what I had written, it was revised, and then they gave me the authorization to start developing it.
But every time it was developed - something would be missing. And it was never their fault - it was always that the software engineering team had left something out. But they had never requested it. We were expected to work for free to add in what they had forgotten to ask for.
And all to often, I was told by the client that they only had $$ money and my team should be able to do the work for that much money and within the amount of time specified by the customer. My manager would say if I did not take the deal, then there was no need for me or my team and we could all clean out our desks.
And if I took the deal, my staff would say I was crazy taking on so much work for so little money and such a small time frame.
Still - if you don't have to manage the contract - it not too bad. But you should expect to donate free hours to get the job done.
The pay is good - I earned about $75,000/year plus benefits.What makes software engineering a low stress job and so high paying?
Low stress because you are on your own time. High paying because not too many people have the degree or knowledge needed. Check out www.dol.gov and look under Occupational Outlook Handbook. It will give you all the info you need, and the info is good until 2014. Good luck and peace.
I DONT THINK ITS LOW STRESSED.
GET AN MCA(AFTER BCA) OR B TECH.
