Careers in Database Design
Every modern organization uses one or more computer databases to organize the information it needs to operate successfully.
Database designers know how to collect and store that information so it can be analyzed for useful insights and accessed for whatever purpose it’s needed.
They may design and create new databases or maintain and improve existing systems. Database designers also create the equipment and software specifications that are needed to manage a system and train its users.

- There will be more than 15,000 job openings for computer programmers of all types during the 10-year period
