| There can be no doubt that
the computer is an indispensable tool to our fast-paced existence, with
limitless choices for its application in industry, service, and institutions.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, computer systems design and
related services industry remains "one of the 10 fastest growing industries
in the Nation . . ., grow(ing) 55 percent by the year 2012."
Since 9/11, the issue of
security has been at the forefront of daily life. This issue will
be the catalyst for more industry-related jobs in software and antivirus
program development, online services, and integration consultancy.
