Advantages of a Computer Engineer or Physicists. Physicist • Pays more than computer engineers. • Work can be in special places around the world. • Continuous learning and discovering new things. Computer engineer • I can work where I want, just as long as I’m doing my job. • Involves a lot of dexterity and putting together a computer. • Pays well. • Would cost less to go to school for. • Take less time to become on.
Suggested High school courses for each career Physicist • College algebra • Trigonometry • Physics • Chemistry • Keyboarding • Computer applications • Probability and statistics Computer engineer • Intro to engineering • Principles of engineering • Trigonometry • College algebra • Physics • Keyboarding • Network technology • Electronics • Computer science • Computer programming • Computer applications
Cost of college or vocational school Computer Engineer • College: about $60, 000 for bachelors • Vocational School: about $73,000 for bachelor’s • (both without any financial aid) Physicist • College: about $71,000 • Vocational School: about $84,000 • (both without any financial aid)
Possible schools Computer engineering • Lenn-brenton
Expected Salary Computer engineering • United states average yearly salary: about $98,000 Physicist • United states average yearly salary: about $96,000
Length of time to get degree or training Computer engineering • 4-5 years for bachelors • If you want a masters then: 6 to 7 years Physicist • 6-7 years for masters • If you want a PhD: 8-9 years
Disadvantages of choosing career Physicist • Funding for projects • Time consuming • Cost more to go to college Computer engineering • Physical: damage eyes, possibly cause obesity • Stressful environments • Time limits on projects
Which is best out of both • Computer engineering all the way • I enjoy working with computers • Learning about computers • It pays well • Requires excellent mathematical and science skills which are my two best subjects • I could live in an area that I wish
