The career I chose was Computer Engineer. Computer Engineers work with the hardware and software aspects of computer design and development. They use science and mathematics to develop new kinds of hardware and software and also solve technical problems. Computer engineers usually work as part of a team rather than by themselves. Computer hardware engineers usually design, develop, test and supervise the manufacture of computer hardware- such as chips or device controllers. Software engineers usually research, design, and test operating system software that helps run your computer.
             Computer engineers usually need a bachelor's degree in computer engineering or electrical engineering. The median yearly income for computer engineers was $61,910 in 1998; the lowest ten- percent earned less than $37,150 and the highest ten- percent earned more than $92,850.
             Computer engineers normally work in offices or laboratories in comfortable surroundings. They usually work about 40 hours a week, but sometimes evening and weekend work is necessary to meet deadlines or solve technical problems. Since technology is increasing as we enter the 21st century, computer engineers are now able to solve these specific problems from remote locations via the Internet.
             Computer engineering is expected to be one of the fastest growing occupations through 2008. As technology becomes more sophisticated and organizations continue to adopt these complex technologies, employment will increase much faster than average. Computer engineers held about 299,000 jobs in 1998 and that number will continue to rise well into the future (Occupational).
             I found a house in Oxford, Ohio. It is a brand new house with four bedrooms, 2.5 baths, full basement, and 3-car garage. It is about 2,200 square feet and sits on a 1.22-acre lot. It is about $194,900 and the monthly mortgage comes to about $1,290.02 (
