In grade school, the course that I wanted for college was "Computer Science". I loved playing with computers back then and thinking that there's a "computer" word in that course, I thought it would be great! As I stepped into high school, I learned that I suck in Math (I don't know what happened, I used to love it!) and that ComSci is loaded with hardcore math subjects. Ay patay.
When it was time to choose a course, my cousin told me that IT was kind of lighter than ComSci. I was going to choose it but my classmate from high school told me that IS is also lighter and has a business side. It sounded cool to me, tech and business combined. So yeah, that's how I got here. Before, my mom asked me the differences between IT, IS, Computer Science and woopsy I didn't know.
SOFTWARE
My laptop was originally installed with Microsoft Office 2007. When the latest version came out, the 2013 version, of course I wanted to update mine. I didn't want to spend anymore, so I downloaded it online and got it for free. Shhh. Microsoft Office is an example of a pre-built software.
There are freeware that can be great alternatives for paid software. For MS Office, a great alternative would be Kingsoft Office, OpenOffice, LibreOffice, etc.
For large companies, they hire they're set of programmers as their staff to create in-house programs. For small companies, they find programmers to create out-source programs.

My sister's friend, who is an IT, works at a large tech company here in the Philippines. She also goes to work once a week only, like the friend of Sir Encarnacion. I heard that she has a big salary but she's kind of getting tired of her job already. It is really true what our professor said that the work of programmers is hard. Cry. So I guess I should really study and improve in our programming subject.
