Solet's goaheadandgetstartedontalkingabout a fewofthevariables, becauseifyou'reanythinglikemewhenyouwerepursuingorthinkingaboutpursuingcomputersciencedegree, you'researchingonline.
Howmuchcan I makeas a softwaredeveloperorhowmuchcan I makewiththecomputersciencedegree?
Butbeforeyougodownthispath, expectingtocomeoutwith a jobthat's payingyou $100,000 readanddiscussthreevariablesthatareveryimportant.
The 1st 1 isthetypeofcomputersciencejobyouwant.
The 2nd 1 isyourlocation, andthe 3rd 1 isyourlevelofexperience, which, ifyouare a computersciencegraduate, straightoutoftheoutofcollegegettingyourdegreeisprobablygonnabeminimalexperience.

Buttakeitwith a grainofsalt.
I liveinthehandinroadsareaofVirginia, so I'm goingtotrytobaseitoffofwhat I knowandthat's thisarea.
Soas a dataanalysts, theestimatethatweinitiallysawsomewherearound 55,000 isspotonfrompeople I'vetalkedtoasdataanalystorsystemsanalystorbusinessanalysts.
A lotofthoseair, slightlydifferentjobs, butveryofteninterchangeable.
Youcouldbeexpectingtomakeinthisareaaround 55,000 to 60,000.
Butbasedontheresearch I'vedonewhenlookingforactualjobswithinthatspace, because I didn't knowif I wasgoingtomoveher, I wasgoingtostayhere.
I'velookedforjobsinHamptonRoadsareainAtlanta, inTexas, a fewdifferentcitiesinTexas, overinColorado, andthosewerereallythefourmainonesthat I likeactuallydovedeepinto.
Andfromwhat I cantellwhenitcomestodataanalystposition, that's whatyoucanexpecttomakeaswell.
However, whenitcomestothesoftwaredeveloperposition, itsaidaround 55,000 asanaverageforanentrylevelsoftwaredeveloperthat I meancanbe.
Butit's generallysomewherebetween 55 maybe 60 to 70,000.
I mean, don't getmewrong.
I'veseenpeoplegetpaid 50 or $45,000 tobecome a softerdeveloper, butit's morecommontostaysomewherearound 60 maybemidsixties, asanentrylevelsoftwaredeveloper.
Butjustknowthatitmaynotbeexactlytherangethatyoushouldbeexpectingbecausehotofthesesulfurdevelopersmakesixfigures a yeararen't realisticformostentrylevelsoftwaredevelopersunlessyou'reoverinCalifornia, inparticularareasofCalifornia.
