In general, computer science is the study of the principles and use of computers. Everything from wristwatches to refrigerators is likely to have a computer in it these days, thus studying computer science is a good career start. Computer science skills can be used across all industries, making for virtually endless career possibilities. Many of the ERA/UNIVAC/Sperry engineers had technology degrees or hands on experiences before Computer Science Degrees were available. From our readers, these links are for future generations!
