(ELI5) Difference of computer science and information technology

734 views

All my life i thought both of them are the same, now in my last two months in senior high school i need to pick a course to take in college, im really not sure if im going to take ComSci or IT. Not asking for what to take, i just need to know the difference of the two when it comes to what you will be doing in your company.

IT uses tools made by others to keep services up and running. Help-desk, sysadmins, and network engineers.

ComSci makes the tools. Testers, developers, and software engineers.

IT is turning into a blue-collar job that still takes technical skill. There’s a lot of on-call hours. A BA in ComSci works shitty-long hours and is typically a cog in the machine. A PHD in comSci can do interesting stuff.
