You will need very good time management skills.
You will need to have critical thinking, and use logic and reasoning to your advantage.

Most companies looking for computer programmers require at least a bachelor's degree in education, however some only require an associate's degree, and few do not require a degree at all. You will also be required to have knowledge about computers, math, engineering, and some places require the applicant to know English. The job pays a medium salary of $93,000 per year, however this number can vary from $40,000 to up to $200,000.
This job pays very well, and is a very high demand job that many companies would be willing to pay lots of money for. However, it is also a somewhat laborious job, as it requires creating a lot of code, and then making sure that code has zero bugs. Overall, I think that I would be somewhat successful in this job, and I would want this job due to the very high pay.
Another career related to computer science is a Data Warehousing Specialist. Here are some duties you would be expected to complete:

Like the previous job discussed, most companies that are hiring require at least a bachelor's degree. However, some colleges require just a high school diploma, or any college degree. The salary for this job has less variance than the previous, as it ranges from a yearly salary of $60,000 to $170,000.
Overall, this job has a high job security, as data centers will always exist and will always need maintenance. However, this job is even more laborious than the previous, and I do not believe I would be very successful in this job. I would not take this job, even though the pay is high.
