I'm currently a Sophomore enrolled in my Universities CS program.
I'm just curious, what are some of the cool CS jobs out there? The whole reason I got into computer science was because I was interested in doing systems/embedded programming. I love working in C and other low level systems languages, but there's just one problem--all my friends think I'm crazy.
All my buddies are C# and Java people, and they're only interested in doing IT and Business apps. Every-time I talk to them, they laugh at me and say that C and assembly are dead languages and have no future.
The thing is, I love C and I love writing code thats close to the hardware. The only reason I got into CS was because I want to take on a job where I can use those low level systems skills.
However, I'm afraid my friends are right... I just can't seem to get any good information on the kind of jobs that require low-level programming and algorithms.
I hear about cool jobs in the news, like AI research, neural nets, OS development, and embedded systems. But where are these job located, and what will it take to work for them?
A couple graduates last year from my Universities CS program managed to get jobs at Boeing working on some kind of new plane. I would love to work for a company like that! The whole, Business and IT world sucks IMO.
My real question is: "Where are some engineering based companies to work for in the CS field, like Boeing, Intel, etc..."
