Debbie,
Congratulations on your 4.0 GPA :-)
Will Your Information Technology (IT) Degree Be Relevant?
Yes, your Information Technology (IT) degree will be helpful to you when you graduate because it will be tough for you to get a job without a college degree.
Now, what your college professors are trying to say is that ... \"you cannot depend on your college degree, even if it is a computer science college degree\", for a job.
In other words, having a computer science / information technology / any college degree, by itself does not guarantee you a job.
There are hundreds of thousands of college degree holders including those with computer science / information technology degres without jobs.
Why is that?
You will need functional education and/or handson experience in a specific career to qualify for a job.
For example, you will need to know business analysis or project management or computer programming to work as a business analyst or project manager or computer programmer respectively.
So, this is what you must do
Choose a specific career and then learn how to perform the roles, responsibilities or tasks associated with that career.
Learn the skills required for a specific career, get some experience in that career ... and you will be qualified for that kind of job.
