What's the difference? ._.
Why more pay for the same job?
Basically Software Engineering is just a branch of Comp Sci.
We just have a bunch of courses about problem analysis, team management, etc.
Which makes us more ready to work on big projects or to have promotions to become team leaders and stuff.
And in the industry, the job title for developers usually is "Software Engineer".
Because Computer Science people are usually technical people who will execute tasks well, but will not be the best to structure code or solve problems.
The Engineering program usually takes 4 to 5 years, whereas Comp Sci is around 3 years.
We are doing a lot of Math too, and in my school everything is really applied, plus we have 3 internships to do, which gives us hands-on industry skills.
Generally, Software Engineers will be paid more because of their degree (just like a grad student will be paid more than an undergrad), but also because being an engineer certifies that we have the needed skills to be a good team member and developer. Plus consider that at the end of our program we already have at least a year of professional experience in companies.
No, Wes plays WoW constantly. I'm the one who plays the Hearthstone between the two of us.
I did play Hearthstone for a while Rosim, but with lack of the good cards and all, it lost its appeal because I was constantly losing lol. Still find it fun though.
Well if you guys want to add me, I'm not that good I play around 2 games a day. Username: RosimInc (who would have guessed?)
