In order to be employed by a corporation/industry that serves in software development, students must earn a bachelor’s degree in either computer science, software engineering or any field that is related to the following career. You can also have a degree in math but developers must also have a strong background in computer programming. Also you must also have the following in order to be truly considered:

Earnings:

Most software developers work for companies/industries in either electronic manufacturing product industries, office environments, computer design systems, etc. Usually there are software developers who even begin or prefer to work away from the office. In the work place, developers work all full time and it is almost close to 40 hours per week.

For system software developers the average median wage is almost $99,000. Within the lowest ten percent most employees earned less than $62,800 and the top ten percent earned more than $148,850.

Job Outlook/Employment:

Employment for software developers are seeing new opportunities due to the high demand of products that use advanced software. There is also an increase in wages for software to be developed in security networks and various infrastructures. Throughout the whole population almost 11% of employment deals with computer software systems and developers.

Mostly software developers ask the customer how they plan to use the software or what is the task that they want the software to complete. Then the developers then design the program and give indications to programmers on how to write the computer code and to test it. When the program is released to the customer then the developer may perform any upgrades and maintenance to that specific program/software.
