Many people are good with their computer, program small applications themselves and manage their personal network at home. These are the basic qualities and skills required for a career as a computer scientist. But to look after servers and networks in a company, program at Google, work in software engineering or develop new apps, you need a sound education and a certain talent for computer science. For example, can you spend hours tracking down a bug like a detective until you have localized it? Do you have a good understanding of organizational procedures and technical processes? Can you communicate quickly with experts in a wide range of fields and familiarize yourself with their specialist areas? And are you prepared to give up your idea of an ideal application if it does not fulfill the actual wishes and needs of your customers? In IT, it's often about striking a good balance between mastering technology and working well with people.
