Software Engineers: The Architects of Tomorrow?

Ask people who runs this world and two out of ten would say ‘Software Engineer’s and eight would think it’s God, the difference being that the two people would be very sure that the world is run by Software  Engineers while the other eight would only think that the world is run by God. To be very frank, the profession and business of software has progressed rapidly since the past few years, and so has the profession of software engineering. In fact, software engineering has today found a place amongst the other top professions of recent times, like doctors and engineers.
The profession of software engineering too has seen a drastic change and enhancement since the past few years. Gone are the days when banks and other financial institutions would club people working for the media and software engineers in the same bracket and not grant loans to them. Today, software engineers are a prized possession, for the companies as well as anyone having to do anything with the economy for their own progress and financial gain.
In addition, being a software engineer is no longer considered to be a risk too. The software market saw one of its greatest heydays during the dotcom boom in the mid nineties, and it also saw its darkest period during the dotcom bust. Of course, September 9/11 was just the final, crippling move to an already dying market and profession. However, with the advent and enhancement of e-commerce, software engineers are once again the superheroes of tomorrow, coding our future for us, right here, right now. Therefore, it can be safely said that the being software engineers is one of the most lucrative professions today. After all, Bill Gates was a software engineer, you see.
There are several, simple and complex ways of being software engineer. Like every educational degree, there are two ways in which you can pursue a degree in software, either a degree course or a diploma course. A degree course has you attend a set number of lectures, and consists of theory as well as practical, whereas a diploma course is basically a study-at-home course, where you attend only the practicals.
You can always decide which type of education is good for you. With the massive opening of the job market, it makes little difference whether you hold a diploma in software engineering or a degree in software engineering. However, some companies may give a first preference to the people who hold a degree in software engineering
