There are many career paths you can pursue in computer science and technology upon earning a degree, such as:

• Network Technology: Professionals with this specialization learn computing skills and analyze local area networks (LANs) and wide area networks (WANs) to ensure the network is running properly. Earning an associate's degree in networking technology will enable you to work as a network technician with hardware (physical devices), switches, routers, network systems, and network design. In some cases, these technicians will also provide maintenance on these information systems.


• Information Technology: If you enjoy navigating complex systems, problem solving, and helping others with technical issues, a career as a computer user support specialist, help desk technician, or computer technologist may be the information technology job for you. While many earn degrees in this field, additional certifications such as the CompTIA A+ or Cisco A+ may offer additional value and make you a standout candidate when applying for jobs.


• Electronic Technology: Various careers in electronic tech require you to read and understand a variety of mechanical and electrical diagrams and be knowledgeable of current and upcoming developments in analog and digital electronics. Those wanting to work in electronic tech typically find positions in manufacturing, installation, operation, service, maintenance, and troubleshooting as engineering or electronics technicians.
