    1. What is your name?

    2. What level of education have you achieved and what level of education is needed to be a computer programmer?

    3. What 5 qualities do you feel are assets to you as a computer programmer?

    4. Why have you selected this career?

    5. Do you have any plans to seek another career?

    6. What is the best and worst part of being a computer programmer?

    7. What kind of projects do you undergoe as a computer programmer?

    8. What is the average salary of a computer programmer?

    9. Are there any restrictions, if any, with being a computer programmer?

    10. If you could do anything else other than being a computer programmer, what would you do?
