what kind of jobs/hours would my ex get with a computer science degree? I know he had a job where people brought in their computer and would fix the problem with them.Would the job have odd hours and consume most of his time or would he have time for a social and family life?
Work hours for someone with a computer science degree?
Computer programming jobs are pretty much 9-5 type jobs. Regular hours from Monday to Friday. The nice things about programming though is it offers flexibility and most companies have flextime schedules for their employees which means they can arrange 3 day weekends by working 4 ten hour days a week. They also sometimes allow their employees to work from home (all you need is an internet connection and a computer).
Increasingly, there are also freelance computer jobs. So the programmer picks his jobs. Basically, he's a contractor...
The short answer and the one you are probably looking for though is, "Yes, he'll have time for a social and family life."
In fact, more so that a lot of jobs out there. Of course, with that said, there are exceptions to the rule. Some jobs, especially those with startups might require long hours or with lots of travel.
