pays good, when your good hours are normally pretty straight, industry is still expanding even within current economic depression --- Very under appreciated job, when everything is going well, they dont notice you, when something fucks up, its yoru head. depending on what you do you can end up boxed in a small room all day every day.

Only get into I.T. If you actually find it interesting, it is more of a career than a job, if you get into it for the money you will almost crash and burn. You have to have a basic understanding as a minimum and at least a moderate interest to do well.

Pros? You can make mad money. Cons? Nearly everyone you end up working with will be male and socially inept. Also, you might have to deal with stupid people all day. That's when the saying "the problem is between the keyboard and the chair" comes in handy, haha.

Well I can't say for sure because I don't know what you're doing. Most people seem to assume that if you major in IT, you'll wind up in customer service when I'm an IT major and am heading towards Web Development. If you go the "traditional" route, you'll make good money but have to deal with idiots all day.

Webdev is Csci, not IT :/ 
Well, seeing as how this thread has been bumped like three or four times now anyways... Web Dev can be IT. As I already stated, it's what I was majoring in at the time so it's clearly doable if it's what I was working on. Every school is different but most seem to have "tracks" or "concentrations". So when you say that you're an IT major, that doesn't really tell a person a whole lot. I've been in classes with IT majors who specialize in Security. I've been in class with ones who are into Web Design. I've been in ones with kids who enjoy Programming. It really just depends upon the student but we're not all going to end up in the same place. Web Dev is an IT track but you could also be a Web Dev about two or three other ways here. Again, I know because I've asked and researched the matter with two professors, three advisers, and a department head. If you check out different schools and each's requirements, you'll notice that they're not all the same. My boyfriend, for example, thinks it's ridiculous that programming was required for it here. Other schools don't seem to need/want it. But my school feels it's for the better that students at least go through a year's worth of Java first and that's required of all IT majors regardless of their concentration.
