Information technology (IT) may adopt the monikers information systems or systems administration. Essentially, IT professionals are the users of technology.

Whereas , Computer Science(CSE) background person, i.e computer 'scientists' are focused with the theory of computational applications. That means they understand the why behind computer programs.

An IT career involves installing, organizing and maintaining computer systems as well as designing and operating networks and databases. Computer science is focused entirely on efficiently programming computers using mathematical algorithms.

An IT career doesnt necessarily require a computer science (CS) degree, although a CS degree opens certain doors that otherwise wouldnt be available. IT professionals typically work in a business environment installing internal networks and computer systems and perhaps programming. Computer scientists work in a wider range of environments, ranging from businesses to universities to video game design companies. Both of these careers have excellent growth potential and high salaries, with software developers somewhat ahead of IT professionals in earnings.

Good Luck!!
