Computer consulting is one of the important if not the most important
|
|
job of our time. Computers are the future whether we like it or not. Some
|
|
people dislike computers, because of the complications it takes to
|
|
understand the basics. Computers are not exactly the easiest tools to work
|
|
with, but they are the most rewarding, and they are the future. Future
|
|
cars will all be run by computer. You will be able to talk to a car and it
|
|
will take you to your destination. Telephones are technically
|
|
computerized. You will soon be able to talk to a person on the telephone as
|
|
well as look at the person you are talking to on a television set. Also
|
|
television is computerized. Soon we will have true three dimensional
|
|
television. We will be able to watch television like we never have watched
|
|
it before. We will be able to touch the characters, and feel the
|
|
characters like they were in the room with you. For people who don't know
|
|
much about computers, you will be lost in the future. You should learn
|
|
what you can while you still have the chance, because things will develop
|
|
to quickly for you and you will not be able to cope with new technological
|
|
events. Computer consulting is a job, I have chosen long before the
|
|
advances of technology. And now it has paid off. I now have a business of
|
|
my own, working as a computer consultant. I assist others in learning
|
|
about computers to be able to operate more efficently in their everyday
|
|
jobs. Computers will fall into careers and our everyday life more rapidly
|
|
then you think. Perhaps you would like to be a teacher. You will store all
|
|
class data, students work, names, grades, records all accessible by
|
|
computer. Or, how about a doctor. You will use computers to examine and
|
|
evaluate a patients problem quicker and more efficiently. These are only a
|
|
few examples. The bottom line is, computers provide worthwhile careers.
|
|
|
|
Having a job that involves computers, in terms of the conditions, is
|
|
very much similar to any office job. In most of the common jobs, the
|
|
worker will get to an office in the morning, sit at a desk, in front of a
|
|
computer, and will do very little manual labor except a lot of typing.
|
|
|
|
For example, the computer consultant we have already mentioned, might
|
|
do several jobs, a few being: Traveling to clients computers, writing
|
|
customized programs, repairing computer parts, and teaching/ guiding
|
|
students in learning. Only the repair aspect of this job, would require
|
|
actual manual labor. However, computers and computer parts are so well
|
|
built and shall continue to be even more well built, that repair is only a
|
|
small fraction of a consultant's daily routines.
|
|
|
|
Overall, conditions for the majority of jobs dealing mainly with
|
|
computers, shall include very little manual labor, unfavorable conditions,
|
|
and much knowledge, typing skills, and good communication skills in dealing
|
|
with people.
|
|
|
|
With computers and the computer industry being the most rapidly
|
|
changing industry and product in the world, the job outlook for any job
|
|
dealing with computers or the industry is almost completly unpredictable.
|
|
|
|
However, with the computer industry only being around for a short
|
|
period of time compared to the other industries of the world, we can still
|
|
get a somewhat accurate idea of where the industry is heading based on the
|
|
amount of change already inccured by the technology.
|
|
|
|
Firstly, computers have, over the years, been taking control of more
|
|
and more of the dealings of human everyday life, and because of efficiency
|
|
they have proven, it would be likely to assume that one major change of the
|
|
computer industry from today until tomorrow will be control of more and
|
|
more of our everyday life. For example, not only will our coffee be made
|
|
by automatic machines, like Mr. Coffee, but also, we will no longer have to
|
|
input the grounds, and the water to make the coffee. Computers shall be
|
|
controlling the temperature of the coffee, to know when to stop it, thus
|
|
eliminating our having to turn off the machine.
|
|
|
|
Therefore, the outlook on the jobs relating to computers in the
|
|
future, shall be not only enlarged in field, but also will encompass more
|
|
aspects of everyday life than anything before in history, except for maybe
|
|
sleeping. By this, it is meant that computers will not just be something
|
|
that you choose to know or learn in the future, but something that will
|
|
just be part of everyone's common sense and knowledge.
|
|
|
|
Because computers are so rapidly changing not only in their technology
|
|
but also the amount of job fields they create, earnings is yet another
|
|
difficult aspect of computers to predict.
|
|
|
|
As of now, because computer knowledge is so valuable in today's
|
|
business world, salaries are quite favorable. This along with the job
|
|
conditions mentioned earlier in this report contribute greatly to a desire
|
|
of possessing computer knowledge.
|
|
|
|
To give you an idea of a few of the actual jobs involving computers,
|
|
and the salaries that they provide, one existing job, and the salary it
|
|
provides will be discussed in detail.
|
|
|
|
A computer programmer, one who designs programs (the directions for a
|
|
computer to follow), usually will work for a company or a large cooperation
|
|
in designing a program that will be specifically made for that business's
|
|
applications. This would not only make the business more efficent, but
|
|
also save losts of money for the business. The computer programmer is
|
|
usually an independant contractor who chooses jobs he might enjoy doing.
|
|
These programmers usually are paid between 200 and 800 dollars per hour for
|
|
their time at their computer inventing these programs which will later run
|
|
an entire business.
|
|
|
|
Computers, providing such a variety of different jobs, overlaps into
|
|
many many other related occupations.
|
|
|
|
Because of the astounding amount of parts computers play in job fields
|
|
today, only two very different related occupations shall be discussed.
|
|
|
|
A doctor 30 years ago depended greatly on his own accuracy in
|
|
performing difficult surgery. However, today doctors rely greatly on
|
|
computerized medical equipment programmed by computer programmers to
|
|
operate on a patient. Computers are almost 50% more accurate than a
|
|
doctor's own human skill, which allows for human error where computers are
|
|
not human so this factor does not exist, hence making them that much more
|
|
efficient.
|
|
|
|
A car machanic used to rely on an experienced ear to determine if a
|
|
car was out of tune. However, in today's modern times, a mechanic can even
|
|
deaf, and still more accurately determine whether a car is out of tune than
|
|
that same mechanic who might even have 50 years ex- perience. Again, the
|
|
reason - computers. Now most modern mechanic shops have in use, highly
|
|
sophisticated machines which run soley on computers to determine a car's
|
|
status, simply by being hooked up to a car's exhaust pipe, thus eliminating
|
|
having to remove any parts of the car, thus not only providing more
|
|
efficiency, but also saving time in putting parts back on a car.
|
|
|
|
Computers, being highly sophisticated tools, accordingly are difficult
|
|
to learn and even more so when a person has had no exposure to them in the
|
|
past.
|
|
|
|
Many computer courses are being offered to cover the many professions
|
|
that computers rule. Also if one was desirous of entering the computer job
|
|
field, it would be highly recommended that the person started taking
|
|
classes on computers as early as possible, as the younger you are the more
|
|
simple it is to learn something unfarmiliar. Because of this computers are
|
|
being taught in schooling as early as elementary levels. High school would
|
|
be the latest starting point, if offered, to begin computer friendliness.
|
|
High school courses mainly are compossed of programming languages which not
|
|
only is excellent in providing one with the basic knowledge to enter the
|
|
programming field, but also gain a better understanding of the computer and
|
|
its attributes.
