Comment What do you want to do (Score 1) 380
Computer Science: You want to create things such as software, hardware, algorithms, architectures, platforms, etc. Any of the more fundamental building blocks of computing, go into computer science to learn how computing technologies work and how to extend them or create new ones. This can range from being a low level developer, hardware engineer, researcher, software architect, or CTO.
Information Technology: Go here if you want to manage the technology. This is more about having knowledge about the parts of technology, how they interplay, how to cost, how to resolve business goals. This can be as low level as a wire puller running cables, to personal computer tech, to site manager, to CIO.
My analogy. If you want to build buildings, go Information Technology. If you want to create the building materials, go computer science. Know this however, if you can create building materials you can create the building, not necessarily the other way around though.
How to choose? If you have a true love and passion for technology and how it works then go computer science, it will give you an appreciation for how things actually work, how things are designed, and how to create new things. If you like using technology but are in it for the money or doen't like the science of it all go information technology. Information technology will allow you to work in technology but not have to deal with all the theory and math.
As a personal plug I wrote a blug article a week or so ago on computer science in higher education. Be sure to check out the program and be sure of what you want to get out of it.
