- I am currently a Junior in High School and have been
- considering becoming a Systems Programmer/Analyst. I've read books
- about it but I would like to get some first hand information from real
- people with experience in this field. General information, including
- job responsibilities, education needed, and salary would be
- appreciated. I am specifically wondering about how much math I would
- need. I don't really like to do math but I am fairly good at it.
- Many people say that to be a programmer, you need a lot of math
- skills, but I wonder if that is true. I'd like to know specifically
- what type of math is used and how it is applied.
-
- Anyone who has any information that might be useful to me, no
- matter how little, please respond. I will greatly appreciate your
- sharing your experience and knowledge with me.
-
- Sincere thanks,
- Stuart Johnston
