Why software engineering?

why not software engineering... with the world changing and becoming more "tech-based" everyday the opportunity to learn and create seem endless.

         - My top 3 reasons-

           1.Opportunity

From Medtech, security, creating new applications or webpages or really anything that utilizes technology there is an opportunity to explore many different areas. I think about how my career-oriented interests might grow and change within the span of my career and how being a developer has the potential to provide me with the ability to adapt and explore different areas within the field.

      2. Job security

From a tech perspective, the world is not changing. As technology develops there will always be a demand for people who know how to program it all! Even if working for a tech corporation isn't the desire, having the knowledge to create webpages, apps or programs that are desired by entrepreneurs can always be an option.

  1. Somewhere between creativity & knowledge Maybe it's where creativity and knowledge meet...From a personal perspective I have always been a strong artist and in academics. When thinking about a career path I always struggled to find a way to keep and develop both of these strengths. The more I learned about different languages and about the ways different developers approach situations I begin to appreciate how much creativity along with a devs knowledge can (literally) make or break what is trying to be accomplished. From the front-end and back-end the creativity and knowledge needed to bring it all together is an exciting field to find yourself in.
