Despite his success as a business owner and author, Jensen
identifies primarily as a computer programmer.
Computer programmers write the code that allows software
programs to run and function properly. Programmers can be
employed in computer systems and design, software
publishing, finance, insurance, manufacturing, and
administration, as well in start-ups.

3.  Many complete computer science degrees, but the technology
and computer languages change so quickly that continuing
education, whether in a formal or informal setting, is a key
aspect of this career.
Computer programming tends to be a well-paid and relatively
secure career, with the median pay at $77,550 in May of 2014.
The highest 10% of programmers at that time were earning
more than $127,640. Because the work can be done from
virtually anywhere, however, some companies may be turning
to workers in lower-paid areas of the world, which could lead
to an employment decline of 8% by 2024, according to the
Bureau of Labor Statistics.
