-I was surprised by the broadness of the career, there are many different types of software out there and very different fields. The one that caught my eye was on the third link. A software engineer for surgical products. It is insane to me that a software engineer plays a part in surgical procedures and the saving of lives.
-I selected software engineer because of the versitility of the job. There are jobs in various fields and in demand all over Texas. It also interested me because this job deals with applications on a large scale. As intriguing as this career is to me I seriously doubt that I would pursue it. I am not very good at sitting at a computer all day going through tedious activities, but it is a career that I could take into consideration.
