Abstract
In my last column I mentioned the article in Money Magazine regarding the Best Jobs in America. The number one rated job was software engineer (Check out the following URL for more information http://money.cnn.com/magazines/moneymag/bestjobs/). A number of people responded to my column and were skeptical about my optimistic viewpoint. They basically pointed out several things: First, jobs in many hot areas tend to either be cyclic or fade away (recall the line from the Beatles song 19 th Nervous Breakdown - "your father's still perfecting ways of making sealing wax"). Second, one typically does not pursue a career in engineering just to make money. It is something one must like and enjoy as a career path. Please keep these in mind when advising students, however, I still feel optimistic about careers in software engineering for students who are interested in software development and the management of software projects.
