<p>I'm stuck between what I want to major in once I transfer. IT/IS or Computer Science. I like computers, a lot, always have. I've never done any type of programming so I'm not sure how I'd like that. My school encompasses a LOT of business classes around their IT program and I'm halfway through an Associates in Business Administration for IT, so I'll be backtracking a bit if I choose CS, meaning I need to make this decision ASAP. What I'm looking for is a secure, decent paying job with a lot of room for advancement in the future.</p>
<p>What I like about IT is all the different fields you can get into and the general computer knowledge you learn. It's also a much easier program. I do not like that a lot of the jobs require you to be on call 24/7, that's a real killer to me for some reason.</p>
<p>What I like about CS is it gets down and dirty with computers, you learn about them from scratch almost. I really enjoy how thorough it is with most aspects of the computer, networking, programming, etc. You're basically what the major is called, a Computer Scientist. What I don't like is the rigorous course work and the potentially tedious nature of work. I don't mind learning math too much, I'm neither great nor terrible in it, I feel it's do able with the right effort.</p>
<p>Also, would it be wise to work maybe 20-30 hours while taking something such as CS? Or would taking out a student loan to pay for expenses, bills, etc to focus 100% on school be a better decision?</p>
