My Future By: Gregorey Lancaster

My College- Florida State University  After getting accepted, I’ve decided to go to Florida State University, one of the best schools in the state. With in-state tuition being so cheap, I couldn’t afford not to go.

Major- Software Engineering  With the computer age rising in important within every minute, Software Engineers are needed now more than ever, and are becoming increasingly more so.  Instead of waiting fro the next biggest thing to come out, why not design it?

How High School has prepared me  Throughout my several years in high school, I’ve taken many Design and programming classes. Each of these classes has helped me in different ways of accomplishing my goal.  Through Web Design, Image Manipulation, and programs like Photoshop, I’ve learned more about how computers work, and how I can use them to my advantage.

Minor- Physics  Physics has always been very interesting to me, and minoring in physics or another math would allow me to easily transition between Engineering jobs, if I so choose software isn’t my forte.

Benefits of Software Engineering?  As stated earlier, Software Engineers are needed now, and are increasingly becoming more and more needed.  Being able to design software will allow me to improve/replace obsolete or slow software by myself.

Price Range and Value  A starting Software Engineer with a Bachelor’s Degree makes $62,000 starting Salary  With a master’s degree, this raises to about $100,000.

After I get my Degree?  Once I get my Bachelor’s Degree, I will start my worklife.  I will not quit school, however, I will no longer be a full-time student.  I will continue working until I get my Master’s Degree in Software Engineering

How long will it take?  To get my Bachelor’s Degree, it will take 4 years at FSU.  Getting a Master’s Degree will most likely take about 6 years.
