eLearners.com Mini-Guide to Computer Science Degrees Helps Advance High-Tech Careers

Hoboken, NJ (Marketwire) October 30, 2008 — eLearners.com, a Web resource of EducationDynamics, today announced the launch of its comprehensive resource that helps answer questions about accredited online computer science degrees. The "Mini-Guide to Computer Science Degrees" is located at http://www.elearners.com/guide/guide-to-an-online-degree-in-computer-science.asp.

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the job market for computer science professionals is one of the fastest growing among all professions. Computer science-related and data administration jobs are going to increase by about 37 percent between 2006 and 2016. This is one of the highest rates among all professions; and the good news is these jobs pay well. Salary.com shows the average salary for a business system analyst is $49,000 and a Software Engineering Manager makes about $114,000.

"With the current economy on shaky ground, many people are second guessing their careers and looking to jobs in technology, which are always in demand," said Terrence Thomas, EVP Marketing Operations at EducationDynamics. "Education is the bridge to those new jobs and computer science degrees, specifically, are a hot commodity."

eLearners.com's "Mini-Guide to Computer Science Degrees" is a simple-to-navigate and comprehensive resource to help current and prospective students learn more about online computer science programs. The guide covers a variety of topics including:

• • Is a computer science degree right for me?
• • What kind of employers hire computer science degree holders?
• • What careers can I qualify for with an online degree in computer science?
