Industry Overview: What do Software Developers do?
Software developers are the creative minds behind computer programs. Some develop the applications that allow people to do specific tasks on a computer or another device. Others develop the underlying systems that run the devices or that control networks.
The following are examples of types of software developers: Applications software developers design computer applications, such as word processors and games, for consumers. They may create custom software for a specific customer or commercial software to be sold to the general public.
Some applications software developers create complex databases for organizations. They also create programs that people use over the Internet and within a company’s intranet.
Systems software developers create the systems that keep computers functioning properly. These could be operating systems for computers that the general public buys or systems built specifically for an organization. Often, systems software developers also build the system’s interface, which is what allows users to interact with the computer. Systems software developers create the operating systems that control most of the consumer electronics in use today, including those used by cell phones and cars.
What does their work environment look like?
Many software developers work for firms that deal in computer systems design and related services, manufacturing, or for software publishers.
In general, software development is a collaborative process, and developers work on teams with others who also contribute to designing, developing, and programming successful software. However, some developers work at home.

Most software developers work full time, and additional work hours are common.
Software developers usually have a bachelor’s degree in computer science and strong computer programming skills.
Software developers also need skills related to the industry in which they work. Developers working in a bank, for example, should have knowledge of finance so that they can understand a bank’s computing needs.
Analytical skills. Developers must analyze users’ needs and then design software to meet those needs.
Communication skills. Developers must be able to give clear instructions to others working on a project. They must also explain to their customers how the software works and answer any questions that arise.
Creativity. Developers are the creative minds behind new computer software.
Detail oriented. Developers often work on many parts of an application or system at the same time and must therefore be able to concentrate and pay attention to detail.
Interpersonal skills. Software developers must be able to work well with others who contribute to designing, developing, and programming successful software.
Problem-solving skills. Because developers are in charge of software from beginning to end, they must be able to solve problems that arise throughout the design process.
The median annual wage for software developers, applications was $101,790 in May 2017.
Employment of software developers is projected to grow 24 percent from 2016 to 2026, much faster than the average for all occupations.
Employment of applications developers is projected to grow 31 percent, and employment of systems developers is projected to grow 11 percent. The main reason for the growth in both applications developers and systems developers is a large increase in the demand for computer software.
The need for new applications on smartphones and tablets will help increase the demand for applications software developers.
Software Developers are ranked: #1 in Best Technology Jobs #1 in Best STEM Jobs #1 in The 100 Best Jobs - Of ALL JOBS!
Job prospects will be best for applicants with knowledge of the most up-to-date programming tools and for those who are proficient in one or more programming languages.
Programming is one of the best jobs there is. I wish I would have started learning programming when I was in middle school! I recommend everyone looks into programming!

Exploring your curiosities can lead to an increasing amount of greater opportunities and those experiences can lead to more and more new ways to work, live, and be happy.
You never know how much those relationships will end up paying off! Be intentional about making friends in high school and learn about your friend's goals.
With software development ranking as the #1 job in the USA, EVERYONE should seek out an opportunity to become more familiar with the processes and how they can utilize those skills.
The median annual wage for sales representatives, wholesale and manufacturing, technical and scientific products was $78,980 in May 2016.
Overall employment of wholesale and manufacturing sales representatives is projected to grow 5 percent from 2016 to 2026, about as fast as the average for all occupations. Employment opportunities should be best in independent agencies, which operate on a fee basis and represent several manufacturers, instead of buying and holding the product they are selling.
Job opportunities should be best for those with previous sales experience. Although the large size of the occupations creates many job openings, the relatively high pay will also likely attract a large number of applicants.
US news rates a sales representative as # 4 in best marketing jobs which ranks them based on 5 categories ( salary, job market, future growth, stress, and work-life balance); with marketing manager, sales manager, insurance sales agent coming in 1st, 2nd and 3rd respectively.
If you love to talk to people, are personable, like to travel, are up for a little bit of a cut throat industry where the potential to make good money right out of College this could be right up your alley.
I know the medium numbers is $78K for technical, BUT, I have quite a few friends that make well over 7-figures selling products only a couple years out of college. In fact, a good friend of mine in the bay area sells carpet and makes 160K per year... and he isn’t even on the top! It requires charisma, high energy, and you need to be good and persuading people to take action.

Even if you don't find yourself working in a "Sales" position, you most definitely will find yourself selling SOMETHING at some point... most likely... YOURSELF!
The key to sales success, however, isn't talking... it's LISTENING!
If something sets off a curiosity of yours, dive deeper into it!
You never know what big opportunities may form as a result of exploring an interest you have!
Nothing is permanent, so go with what feels right! If you want to switch up your path to better suit your interests, don't be afraid to take a leap of faith!
What matters MOST is that you're constantly LEARNING!
Employment of market research analysts is projected to grow 23 percent from 2016 to 2026, much faster than the average for all occupations.
US news rates a market research as #6 in best business jobs which ranks them based on 5 categories (salary, job market, future growth, stress, and work-life balance), with Statistician, actuary, and mathematician coming in 1st, 2nd and 3rd respectively.
If you are into the psychology of humans and how we act in very predictable ways and how analyzing data we gather on humans can allow us to make decisions to alter and help solve world problems you might love being a marketing analyst. Keep in mind though, you need to love being in front of a computer and geeking out at numbers, presenting them to the organization, and then watching the small change you make in the world based on the way you interpreted that data! I don’t know about you… but it kinda sounds cool!

[41:00] - Outro.
3 Key Points:
1. Don't be afraid to take a leap of faith!
2. Tap into the FEELING of your goals.
Visualize what it will feel like when you reach your goal, as you work towards it. Anything is possible, but only if you believe it to be.
3. It's not what HAPPENS that matters, the STORY you tell yourself is.
It's not the circumstance you'll remember, it's the meaning you attach to it. Be conscious of your thoughts and patterns. The stories you tell yourself may or may not be true.
