Comment What does computer science have to do with IT? (Score 1) 1339
I work in a large IT shop and maybe 1 percent of the people in my shop have CS degrees. We have degrees in physics, philosophy, English, and psychology. We have all gravitated to IT over the course of our lives. Some of us can even write pretty good code.
We don't write compilers or compute very large primes --We just support everyday applications like payroll and and collaboration software. We write tools (scripts usually) to make our jobs easier and generally try to make things work as advertised. We communicate with users and try to help them do their jobs as well.
