CareerMash: Web Developers & Programmers

As I was searching through the website and reading the definitions of the different types of jobs, I found that I was more suited towards the Builder profile. Builders take the ideas of an innovator and convert it into reality. Of all the Builder jobs, I became interested in the job of a Web Developer. Web Developers use coding, such as HTML and CSS, to bring website concepts to life.

Some requirements needed for this job include knowing different web languages such as HTML and CSS, knowing the different network and file transfer protocols, and are skilled in graphic design and and interfaces. There are different combinations that can lead to a job in web design. Some of these combinations listed on the career mash website include:

Bachelor's degree in computer science, computer engineering, graphic design, multimedia integration or equivalent training in programming.
Or
College diploma in computer science, multimedia integration, or a related discipline.
Or
Equivalent experience.
