What does /g/ think about IT as a career versus programming/"software engineering?" I'm currently earning my master's in MIS but I'm staring to doubt my path. I know undergrads in the CS department at my university who have offers starting at 100k+ with a 75k sign on bonus and 250k in stock options. Meanwhile I'm looking at 60-65k for a regular old IT job when I graduate.
This is the list
Law if school is highbrow
SE/CS/CE
CPA/CFA if school is higbrow and or I have actual work exp.
IS/MIS/BIS/BI/DBA/ETC. if I have work exp.
Protip: those 100k starting positions rarely last, plus they'll be burned out by deathmarch schedules. If you want to get bigger offers, take some training in infosec, and dig for a government gig.
If you're lucky, you'll land a 90k job with a shitload less stress the CS kids will have, plus you'll be in a field not dominated entirely by pajeets.

Alright, take on 80hrs/week for a year, see if the 100k is worth it at that point. By that point, you literally have no time to enjoy any of the fat bank you're earning, and your code work is just around the corner from being replaced by a towelhead with a single textbook on your chosen language.
100k starting is a meme designed to lure in the inexperienced retards who have no concept of work-life balance.
