Early Career Guidance
Whether you sign up for an AP course
or plan your own self-study with a qual-
ity textbook, participating in the AP
process and scoring well on the exam
can be a rewarding effort. Students will
get early experience with college-level
material that may help guide their ca-
reer and college choices. Should your
teen be interested in computer science
as a career, rest assured that the United
States and other countries are in need
of qualified programmers to fill many
job opportunities. According to the
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, com-
puter scientists enjoy “excellent” job
prospects in a growth industry. Com-
puters and software will continue to
play a more influential role in all our
lives, so why not help architect the digi-
tal revolution instead of merely hang-
ing on for dear life?
Chris Yust is a fourteen-year veteran of
