Top Jobs for Gadget-Loving Geeks

We all know that in today’s world the word “geek” no longer carries the stigma it once did. Many self-proclaimed geeks run multi-billion dollar companies, work in high-paying government jobs, or even, write for company blogs.

However, if you are a gadget-loving geek who needs a career change, one of these might tickle your fancy:

Software Engineering
Many “killer apps” – which increase sales of supporting hardware – start with software. It’s what the Excel application did for its operating system, Space Invaders for Atari computers and the iPod for the Apple brand. Learn to code and gain tools to create amazing products. Application development, simulation and modeling, artificial intelligence and user-interface optimization are just a few things you’ll learn while enrolled into master’s and doctoral programs in computer science.

Hardware Engineering
The newfangled concept may be a car navigation system or RFID e-passport. Whatever it is, management drives the project and the product. A bachelor’s in organizational management/engineering studies meshes best practices of civil, electrical and mechanical engineering for entry into corporate, private and public sectors. Even veteran engineers can freshen their organizational skill development in a fast-paced age of shrinking microprocessor transistors, with a Ph.D. in engineering management.

Game Design
Support killer apps with killer game-design skills, and join the $7.4 billion entertainment software industry. Learn game development, game maintenance administration with a bachelor’s in game software development. The interactive software you design could be applied in the military, health care, television and even education.

Medical and Industrial Applications
Not all gadgets are for fun, games and communication. Medical and biotech devices are joining the club in the form of tactile video displays, subcutaneous medication delivery patches and portable ultrasound systems. To incorporate them into today’s health care delivery, one must grasp how the system works. Learn the system with a bachelor’s in clinical laboratory science, a certificate in gerontology health care or a health care administration degree with a concentration in informatics for IT management know-how.
