can i be both a computer hardware and software programmer?

Posted by on August 12, 2010

hi, I’m currently 14, and i have strong interest computers (coding and putting them together) I’m planning on being either a Computer Hardware engineer, or a Computer Software engineer and i was thinking "could i be both?" would i be able to do it? or would it be to difficult? thank you~!

It helps to have some background in hardware and software, whatever you do, but someday when you get a job, it will probably be mostly one or the other. I have degrees in computer engineering and computer Science. I have been a programmer,and a systems administrator in the past. My day job now is as a software administrator, but at night I fix computers.

    Just do general computer engineering. I think it deals with a little more hardware than software, but you can learn to program, too.

    yes you can do both but to be a great programmer requires dedication and building computer systems can interfere with it. Both can require a lot of your time
