IT vs CS vs SE degrees. In which case would each better serve me.

📌

Cs for their "tag" for sure.... for the rest no branch ( including cs ) will serve you in achieving anything... self studying and practical experience are better choices than a college degree.

@chaostools but i would like to know, by design where each would shine

Well IT has some business elements to it is it? If i wanna end up somewhere managerial is it advisable to undertake an IT bachelors degree then a CS masters?

IT if you wanna do devops, system maintenance, random tech support

Cs if you want to learn the theoretical tools to solve software problems. This is like higher level math, data structures, algorithms. I personally chose this as I could already program and wanted to learn the "more correct" way to solve problems.

SE if you want your education to be more applied, meaning less math more code. This is not always true though some colleges use SE and CS to mean the same thing which I don't agree with but whatever.

IMHO CS it's the best all around choice if you can already program and are good at math, but I'm biased since I'm CS

It if you want to set up printers for a living.

Cs if you want to write code and have a good low level knowledge of how motherboard architecture works

Se if you want to write code

Thank you @SSDD. I don't know much about IT but i think that is a biased and miniturized view of it

@the-dawn true I was being overly harsh. You also set up networks which is a bit more involved.
