Computer Science Degree hub says the following, regarding careers in IT and Computer Science:

“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.”

For those who want to combine business and IT skills, there’s an increasing demand for positions in the management of information technology.

“Qualify for jobs in major tech companies, software publishers, government agencies, information security firms, consulting firms, financial and insurance services, information services, computer system design services, and private enterprises.”

If you want to become an IT professional, you should enjoy using software, installing computer systems, and maintaining databases and networks.
