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 doesn’t necessarily require a computer science (CS) degree, although a CS degree opens certain doors that otherwise wouldn’t be available.

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.
