Most CS people laugh at MIS/IT people and MIS/IT people make more money and manage the CS folks.

What I have learnt from my IT lecture is that IT field has the broader range of job opportunities and has wider knowledge than CS people who are only focusing on the programming works. But, CS people have the deeper range of knowledge on the programming field comparing with IT people. Both of the fields are important and they are really doing the great job in technology field for the sake of human kind goods.

To be compared the job opportunities and salary between IT people and CS people; I have heard that people from IT field can earn more salary than CS people. Most of the CEO Job places and other higher places in technology relating companies are for the people from IT field because they have learnt the wider range of technology and even they have learnt some kind of IT in business courses in their field. For the CS people, they have narrower job opportunities rather than IT because their main focus is on programming only and they have learnt different languages in programming field. In most company, programmers cannot be the CEOs since they have only knowledge on programming. So, IT people have more knowledge in the business field and that is the reason they can earn more salary than CS people.

Most of the CS people laugh at IT people in their field because since in the degree program, CS students have more works to do and they have learnt most complicated part of the ICT and in some university entrance, CS students need good grades than IT students. May be this is the reason that CS people look down on the IT people and they may be proud of their own course. But when they are in works, IT people got more opportunities than CS people and which fuelled the envy and they laugh at IT people. This is just my assumption and what I have heard about them from the real world of ICT field. Actually, IT or CS people, they are the people who can bring the big changes of the world!!
