Well considering they're two very different things, it really depends what you like better.

Comp sci consists of learning a few different computer languages

Java
Javascript
C++
Sql
C
Html
Etc if u are built for problem solving and math classes.up.the ass, discrete math comes to mind then u may want to reconsider

depends on what you like
Computer Science is more programming and the software side of things and IT is more on the physical side of things, including actually using the software to create networks and all that other shyt.
ITs more than just help desk shut.
Creating and building sans, servers, and all that remote networking stuff. Plus programming routers and switches, all types of stuff in IT that isn't just resetting passwords and adding printers lol

help desk is just an entry level it job. if you have an IT degree you should be able to at least start off as a junior admin

:scusthov: at all that math.

Yeah I think IT might be the better route for me, even though it does seem like a computer science degree would probably be more lucrative but :yeshrug:

All computer related majors have to take math courses. My degree is in computer information systems and considering the fact that I already had certain math credits and didn't have to start with remedial classes, I still had to take up to calculus I. The computer science students had to take many more math classes. I'd say, each program is different. Just look online at the univ/college you will attend, research what you think you want to do, and determine which will be a better fit for you.
Don't go into the field for the money...

Daps for that I laughed took me back to my college days. Freshman year was the last time I touched C after 101 we started with C++ and Java

They teach this in CIS.....This aint no serious math...fukk yall talkin about..I just wrote this 30 sec's ago

String[] months = {"Oct", "Nov", "Dec","Jan", "Feb",
"Mar","Apr", "Jun", "Jul","Aug", "Sep"};
int[] planned = {100,300,200,400,500,300,250,345,564,111,434,345};
int[] actual = {565,345,675,345,233,100,567,765,342,567,222,111};

List<MgmtViewBean> viewBeans = new ArrayList<MgmtViewBean>();

for (int i = 0; i < months.length; i++)
{
MgmtViewBean mvBean = new MgmtViewBean();
mvBean.setPlannedInd(planned);
mvBean.setActualInd(actual);
viewBeans.add(mvBean);
}

I was referring to Comp SCI and taking discrete math. Im not sure what they teach in CIS, my degree is in CompSci

CIS and CS are basically the same...yall just take cal 1,2,3...and discreet 2 and operating systems...or something like that....

Honestly....CS is a weird degree because from my experience....eveybody I work with has a CS degree....but we do the same thing...:russ:

$(document).ready(function()
{

var color = $("#overlay");
var content = $("#hover");

content.hide();
color.hide();

$("#container").hover(function()
{
content.show().css(
{
"left" : "-400px"
}).animate(
{
left : 0
}, 300);
color.stop().fadeTo(500, .7)
}
, function()
{
content.animate(
{
left : 400
}, 300);
color.stop().fadeTo(500, 0)

});
});

btw...this takes a image...and if you put your mouse over it....another image slides over it and fades

got to love jQuery!!
