Good day,

I'm a computer science graduate and would soon be rounding up my service year.

I would like to know the career options available to a computer science graduate, most of my colleagues are in the I.T department of various companies which to me is not a good way to kickstart your career and the pay isn't attractive.

I'm interested in knowing career options for a computer science graduate apart from been the I.T Guy and various companies to apply to from those who are in the field.

I should also mention that I'm just learning programming.

Please don't come here and tell me how impossible it is to get a job, let me worry about that.

Bashing and insults are welcomed.

As a computer science graduate, you can work anywhere from IT firms to banks, telecoms, stock exchange etc, it depends on what you want your core to be whether network, programming, system administrator etc the fact you have taken interest in programming is very good,in this technology age every sector needs automation and technology is always improving, I myself am a developer and have friends who are, apart from the normal day job you'll have, you'll also have the opportunity to have your own gigs from time to time that brings in more income , try to empower yourself with certifications, wherever you find yourself working try and gather as much experience as you can and you'd be climbing the ladder before you know it.

Prepare and Write exams on CISSP, PMP, OCP and CEH. They will open lot of oportunities for you in IT world. The courses shouldn't be hard for you to pass them since you are a Computer Science graduate. Besides, I am also a Computer Science graduate!
