Computer Science is not for you if you post threads like this one.

CS graduates generally become code monkeys and fail at life. Good ones become scientists and do lots of awesome.

IT is synonymous with failure. Generally, IT people become losers and get paid to do nothing at work except give people a hard time, because nobody really knows what they're supposed to do. Good ones become underpaid code monkeys. Generally, if you are in I.T. it's because you:

A. haven't gone to college yet but will go for CS
B. haven't gone to college and are a lazy asshole
C. HAVE gone to college and are a stupid fuck
