What kinds of jobs are there in Computing?

A reasonable view is to split the types of jobs available according to the type of company that you choose to work for. The three main sources of jobs for Computing professionals are:


The list of jobs given for each type of company is not exhaustive, but should give you a reasonable idea of the breadth of choice that you might have if you chose to train for a career in Computing. Examples of real people doing the different kinds of jobs will eventually be given under Example Careers. Those pages will give an idea of how people got to where there are today, and how they feel about what they do.
