No. 3: Software Developer

Yes, two health care positions rose above software developer, last year's No. 1 job. But software developer has by no means been ousted. This occupation, which involves overseeing the design and implementation of computer operating systems and applications, is still coveted among information technology jobs. The employment rate is good, as is the salary -- average annual earnings for 2013 were above $96,000, and developers earned a median salary of $92,660 that same year. The BLS predicts there could be more than 139,000 new software developer jobs by 2022.

WOW, that's a novel idea - let's move QCOMM community to a distant island and our issues will go away. We will intermarry and our kids will grow up to be best friends. That's a magnificent vision...

If you own Qualcomm stock outright, do any of you ever exercise your voting rights? Whining about relocating the company isn't necessarily going to change the culture. Showing up en masse at a couple of shareholder's meetings and letting them know what is really going on might. Wall Street doesn't pay attention to sites like this one; but when the discontent is right under their noses, it becomes impossible to ignore.

What company in San Diego has the "original" culture of Qualcomm? They use to care about the employees now they step all over them. Qualcomm should just move to a cheaper location than San Diego. They should buy Catalina Island we can have a Qualcomm community. Safe and convenient and we can ride around in golf carts. Maybe should have bought Detroit.

Not sure if this post is for or against selecting Software Dev as a career, I can tell you that after 14 years doing it I still love it. I am overworked but paid relatively well, sometimes is stressful and there are still many things I would change around me here at Qualcomm but I still love coming to work and solving problems. That's all we need, right?
