This is some really interesting research. I also want to major in computer science when I get to college. It seems as though a lot of major cities is where these careers are most well payed. It's interesting how computer network architects are the highest paid of these 3 jobs. However, graphic design seems like it would be a very fun job.
ReplyDeleteGreat job with all the research. I work at an internship with the WSP Group in San Francisco an I've noticed that you want to major as a computer network architect. I think that you should definitely look into getting a internship at WSP either this summer or sometime in the future because the whole internship is based around Revit and AutoCAD which is the software that architects use when designing buildings.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds very interesting, and yes CAD would probably be a very useful tool for you to have for graphic design
