Good add, but not as interesting work IMO

Cybersecurity is basically just a specialization within IT

Which has a larger salary range?

Should be fine if that’s all you can afford, in CS, your work experience and the skills along with technologies you can work on determines your success and salary more than anything else. That being said, ensure to work on side projects, freelance work while studying to build up your profile and experience.

Also, check out scholarships so that you can target better universities. All the best!

Without a doubt, CS

CS, but honestly just learn to code and have common sense and you’ll stand out as a programmer. Most of the best people in the industry I know are self-taught.

You should always go into doing something 100%. Would you feel good about halfassin the job. I wouldn't, integrity, confidence on completing the job. Now if you having trouble it doesn't hurt to ask for help/guidance to get it complete but it goes on the other party and how they communicate in a way it helps you not discourage you to get it done. Communication is key, with yourself and with the other party, different perspectives. You aren't wrong but learn to compromise and meet in the middle,
