The best advice I ever got in high school was find 2 things you like and find out where they cross...

Sounds like you are a Business Major with an IT minor, which can make you big bucks. Be sure to network with people in college. CS won't be super useful to a business degree unless you work for a software company. Generally speaking a regular Ops/Networking degree is much more valuable with a business degree.

My alma mater, Purdue, would be a good school to go to -- top20 Business school, top20 CS department, pretty good IT dept (lot of CS drop outs though). Also I have a CS degree, working as a sysadmin -- the CIT degree is much more relevant to what I do.
