On thing you should consider is that you don't have to work strictly within your college area after you graduate. I have a CS degree but I've done most of my work in areas that would be considered IT and a fair amount of work in areas that are considered to be Electrical Engineering. There is a lot of overlap in CS, IT, and EE. I'm surprised that automata theory and formal languages are part of the undergrad CS curriculum; when I went to college we didn't get that until grad school.

Speaking of window offices, at one time I had a sweet office with windows that a lot of VPs would envy. After a few rounds of downsizing they took my office and gave me a cube, then they took my cube and gave me a laptop and a cell phone. The whole field is nothing like it was in the 90's. In the 90's I got calls from recruiters on a weekly basis trying to lure me away from my employer. Now every weak quarter I worry about being downsized out of the company. I do still make a good living though; I just don't have the prestige that I did 10 years ago.

CS seems to be the more theoretical and technical degree, IT the more practical and immediately useful one. One thing I say is that in every tough IT problem there is a CS problem. I find that I get called in a lot of times when groups with more business oriented training get stuck on a problem.
