What Do Software Engineers ACTUALLY Do?

In this video, I will talk about what software engineers actually do all day.
Software engineering is much more than just sitting behind a computer 8 hours a day and coding. There are increasingly tough responsibilities that software engineers need to take on which is partially why the field has such high salaries and great perks (at least in big tech).
Keep watching to get the full breakdown!

    @@SajjaadKhader I just graduated from high school and soon I will be enrolling myself into college, but the main issue is that I have to select up to four subjects that’s related to my degree course, I’m currently thinking about breaking into tech but with the wave of retrenchment in the tech side, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to find a job in the future. The other two degrees that I’m also interested in is engineering (anything other than chemical engineering) and actuarial science.
