I Must Interview A Computer Engineer

I have 15 questions i must ask a computer engineer only.
Don't list any personal information if you don't feel comfortable (totally understandable)


1. What is your belief on what computer engineering is? I don't really understand your question. Computer engineering is, well, working with computers as your main focus, I'd say.
2. What are the specializations or divisions of computer engineering? I suspect you can answer that better than I can. But I will say that, at least in the places I've worked, it tends to be either software development or the adjunct work that supports it, e. g. QA or the work that the software is developed to do, e. g. database querying. I've never worked in a company that developed hardware.
3. What kind of an environment do you work in? An office? It's an office, a cube farm.
4. How many hours in a week do you typically work? The company schedule is 37.5; I usually work somewhere between that and 40.
5. What did you major in? Philosophy of Law
6. Where did you attend college/university? Boston University
7. How many years did it take you to earn your degree? 4; I also have a graduate degree which you did not ask about.
8. What is your favorite part of job? Finding answers to problems.
9. Who is your employer? I won't answer that, but it's a large publisher, not based in the US.
10. If you don’t mind what are you paid on payday? I do mind, and I bet most people will, too. I get paid a salary, e. g. I am not an hourly wage earner.
11. How frequent is payday? Every 2 weeks.
12. Do you design any thing? Not really.
13. What are your primary responsibilities? I have a very mixed job. I do ETL, database querying and reporting, user security and I am the liaison between IT and the QA department, so I keep that all organized. My responsibilities revolve around these many hats I wear.
14. Did you take any related courses in high school? None; I graduated High School in 1979, long before pretty much any of this existed.
15. Do you enjoy coming to work each day? No comment.
