Q. Can someone tell me the requirements for getting a job in software programming, software developing, and computer hard ware engineering and the amount of money they make yearly on average? Where are the job opportunities in these field of computer engineering available in the Bay Area of California or somewhere near the Bay Area.
A. Sergio and Malica have provided excellent answers on your question. They are trusted answerers and they have given you an accurate picture of educational requirements and salary expectations and I agree with their numbers and statements.
I will take a different tack and tell you a few attributes of successful software developers. I asked a small group of developers what common attributes they saw in software developers. The reason I wanted this list originally was to help people interested in Computer Science and Programming to have some idea of is they fit into the normal profile for this career or not. I find a lot of people select Computer Science as a major and career only to find that they don't enjoy it or are just not gifted at it. Their failing has nothing to do with a lack of intelligence.
This list was compiled from a group of three very gifted software development co-workers who work at the highest levels in their fields:
Musical talent
Detail oriented
Thinks in terms of modules steps or sequencing
Math is important â but even more logic
A talent in building physical things like Legos
You might have a messy desk but you can easily find things on it
Creative
Not highly sociable (small group of friends)
Not highly interactive in group discussions
Obsessive Compulsive
Bulldog tenacity in completing what they begin
Lose all sense of time while completing tasks
Has intense focus on hobbies and/or games
Passionate about the work they produce
Pursue knowledge (in depth) to master challenges or to form a solution
Best Wishes!

Is there a way to scan artwork and have it made into patterns for embroidery sewing ?
Q. I understand some machines have software programs this can be done but I am wondering which ones
or if there is other ways.
or if there is other ways.
A. Setting up artwork for machine embroidery is one of several processes called 'digitizing'. This is what I do all day for a living; it's also my passion.
The software for embroidery setup is specific to the industry, so there's no photoshop filter or plugin to let you do this in photoshop or something like that. The art is scanned/resized/prepped and then you bring it into the embroidery software. Once there, you are basically tracing it in shapes that are 'stitch areas'; vectors similar to Illustrator.
So...
A few ways to do this:
1-take the art to your local embroidery/screenprinter (NOT an EmbroidMe franchise; they do poor work and suck for other reasons, too)
they will set it up and sew it on items you order thru them or bring in.
2-find a site online and send them your artwork; they will send you a file (request .dst format- is most versatile) which you email to your local embroidery/screenprinter, they will sew it on items you order thru them or bring in.
3-Contact me thru my profile page; I freelance and will give you a quote if you send the art/link to it
4- don't even bother with trying to find software to do it yourself; it has taken me almost a decade to get where I am skill-wise; this is harder than it looks!
Remember!
*It's the opposite of screen-printing for pricing-
screen-printing is priced based on color, but going larger is no problem
embroidery is based on stitch count of finished design. So you can have many colors but the size will be limiting factor as stitch count increases w/size
*don't skimp/cut corners; you will notice the difference in quality and NOT be happy!
*wouldn't recommend any of the cheap digitizing sites; would only recommend fastembroiderytapes.com -I don't send anything out to sites as I am fully capable of handling any setup that comes across my desk, but if I had to, it would be to them.
contact me for more details; below is link to samples of my setups...

Is Software development a low stress career than Systems and networking based careers?
Q. In I.T Infrastructure related careers can be stressful bit and also help desk or software support that involves dealing with customers and fault resolutions a lot, is software development sitting quietly and developing in .net programming or something stressful ?
A. Well it really depends.. depends on the complexity of the design of the software specs. It can be as simple as coding a few lines, to a project that never ends (upgrades, add ons) etc.
From a social view, yes software development don't deal with much people, but they still do - you gotta talk to someone to understand what are their requirements in the software, you gotta make sure what you design fits those requirements, you gotta do quality assurance with the customer so that the end product is what they wanted. etc. You're bound to be in projects that require other team members with time lines, you will have to interact with other people albeit not as much as helpdesk would.
The more stressful and complex the job is, the more money you are bound to make. May I suggest if you worry about stress, to speak to a doctor or a therapist to teach you skills that can help you cope with stress.
