What You'll Do: Your job will be writing code to create software programs. You'll debug programs by testing those programs and fixing errors. And depending upon the organizational chart of your company, you may do the work of software developers -- planning the software, developing models and flowcharts, and designing an application of system interface.

Likely specializing in a few programming languages, the best programmers have an eye for detail, excellent analytical skills, and the ability to understand complex instructions (in order to design programs and write code that address often complex tasks and problems).

Education and Training: Educational requirements typically call for a bachelor's degree in computer science or a related field. Some companies will hire programmers with an associate's degree. Internships are relatively common as a way to gain practical experience, and many programmers take continuing education courses and professional development seminars to keep up with the fast-changing technologies.

Finally, certification programs by individual software vendors offer a way for programmers to train thoroughly and showcase an expertise in a particular software or language, and can often mean a competitive advantage in the marketplace.

The Future: The programming profession is expected to grow at about 12% through 2020. Because programming is not dependent on a person stationed in one particular physical location, companies are more prone to explore a workforce from outside the U.S., adding competitive pressures to an already competitive field.

A bachelor's degree or higher will help one's prospects, as will an expertise in more than one programming language.

The Pay: The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports a median annual wage of $76,000 for 2011.
