When you plan to take that certain course, you must be competitive.

You should consider  your location which more demand! IT or Com-sci?

well i would much prefer IT when you're into not nerve-racking activities.. but i guess it not that hard if you really like it.. kasi ako, gusto ko talaga mag.IT but unfortunately, the university where i study in doesn't offer any IT courses(* I KNOW ITS LAME *)
when it comes to job opportunities, both of the courses have the same *in-demand* effect
soooo...it really is up to you, computer science is really about programming,.
if you want to learn web designing, then IT's the course for you...

*note:kung gusto mo sa UP ka magsstudy, then forget ever taking up IT...

i don't know the difference of the two...

I'm an IT graduate specializing in web development...

the difference between the two is this:

IT focuses on basic applications of computer science & technologies for business practices. CS concentrates on improving that science and technology which in turn will benefit the IT people or the computer crowd in general.

IT people are often called jack of all trades since they are thought the basic principles of every/most aspects of computer technology. Like for example, they know the basics of programming, web technologies, troubleshooting, hardware etc. They take the whole of computer science into a much broader field. However, that really doesn't stop an IT practitioner from specializing into one field. Since they have learned the basics, they can now venture deeper into a specific field if they want to but maybe out of the curriculum scope already (self study).

CS on the other hand does not take the broader concept path. CS specializes on a specific field from the beginning. In most cases/schools here in the Philippines, they take on programming. But it can be any specific field like robotics, web development, banking and finance, etc.

In a more simple explanation,

CS makes the dough. And IT decides what kinds of bread can be done with the dough

I hope you got the differences clearly with my (a bit long) explanation and in turn, decide which path you will take properly.

In my humble non-biased opinion, I love IT since it's more flexible in the long run on which field of study I'll take on for real-life work. But anyhow, they both are still the leading "most" profitable courses in the industry today. Nurses may lack demand, but IT/CS will always be around

*just my two cents worth

Both of them have their own specializations. Im an IT student and its really hard.
Because we both focus on hardware and software. While CS students deeply focus on
software (esp. programming) . So I think both are ok. But now, for me, I love being
an IT student although its frustrating.
