Two questions I'm struggling with /biz/. Going to University this year but can't decide on a field - computer science or business administration. I'm very interested in IT but I have no interest in becoming a fucking code monkey who codes 12 hours a day for fun. Social reject in other words. Than again business administration seems like a bit of bullshit degree since I live in eastern Europe. Makes me wonder will biz degree will have any value if I decide to move elsewhere.
Are these fields becoming more and more mixed up?
poland?

Go CS. The business stuff is easy to learn if you aren't autistic.
I also doubt the major matters much when you are talking about business-side jobs. I have an MS in physics and I work as a BI analyst under a director of finance.
>Computer science vs Business administration
Would you rather have a English Degree or A Women's Study degree?
Because that's the comparison you just made. Good businesses don't hire business majors unless you have experience in their field, and a job can be achieved in computer science by not going to colllege and getting your certifications in ~year.
Get a job in STEM.

I did IT with years of experience and a relevant degree, landed 40k, got a raise a year later to 43k. I jumped to software engineering for 70k start and got bumped to 81k the next year. I'm not saying this is how it always goes, but every communication/liberal arts major is doing IT now to avoid starving, saturation is becoming a real problem, if you can go CS do so.

This, I did IT and regret it. Didn't learn much from my business classes and ended up having to learn most of the tech stuff on my own. Ended up as a software engineer anyways, most business people genuinely feel less intelligent.
