A: FROM MENTOR JUDY LONG IN CO
My job as a Systems Analyst is
making sure software programs work the way they're
supposed to work. I have to understand the
requirements of the customer which is information
describing what the customer wants the software to do.
I create test plans and test data then run the data
through the software to see if the results match my
expected results. The job is very interesting and
challenging because the systems are very complex. My
degreee is a BS in Math and my coworkers have degrees
in Physics, Engineering, Computer Science, Computer
Information Sytems and other scientific degrees. This
is a great job for someone analytical.
