| contents | The demand for computing education increases due to the rapid development of technology and its involvement in most daily activities. Academic institutes offer a variety of computing majors, such as Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, Information Technology, Software Engineering, Cybersecurity, and Data Science. Since a major objective of earning a bachelor's degree is to improve career opportunities, it is crucial to understand how the job market perceives these computing majors. This study analyzed the relationships between various computing majors and the job market in Saudi Arabia, using LinkedIn public profile data, discovering insights into the strong relationship between the focus of certain computing majors and the employment of relevant job positions. Moreover, job category trends were analyzed over the past ten years, observing that demands for System Admin and Technical Support positions declined while demands for Business Analysis and Artificial Intelligence and Data Science inclined. This study also compared earned professional certifications between different computing major graduates that correspond to job position findings. |
