To be a Computer Engineer you need to know how to program in different program languages, Java, pascal, C++, Python are examples of these languages. Nowadays I’m learning Java at the University. But why I chose this career? Simple when I was in my old high school I got courses about it, I learned how repair computers, it was amazing one day I didn't know nothing about computers and the other day I was practicing new techniques to fix computers.

Some important characteristics that you need for this profession are:
