Courses I can't figure out what field I should study

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the distinction between Computer Science (CS) and Information Technology (IT), highlighting that CS primarily involves programming software, while IT encompasses a broader range of technology-related areas. The individual expresses confusion about their career path, considering options like accounting and database management but feeling uncertain due to challenges with advanced mathematics. They seek a course that leads to a job involving existing software rather than software development, emphasizing the desire for a short-term employment opportunity. The suggestion leans towards pursuing IT or database management as viable paths.

I'm looking at Computer Science and IT but I'd like to narrow it down. As far as I can tell CS is programming software, IT delves into different areas of technology.

I thought about accounting but I struggled with advanced mathematics and I also thought about database management, but what course would that be exactly? So confused.

I want a job that involves working with computers, not programming new software but working with existing software. Something that can lead a job in the short term. Ex. A course that can lead to a job upon completion.

EDIT: Database Management seems to be something I could do, just not sure what course to study.

TL;DR Summary: What topics to cover to safely say I know arithmetic ? I am learning arithmetic from Indian NCERT textbook. Currently I have finished addition ,substraction of 2 digit numbers and divisions, multiplication of 1 digit numbers. I am moving pretty slowly. Can someone tell me what topics to cover first to build a framework and then go on in detail. I want to learn fast. It has taken me a year now learning arithmetic. I want to speed up. Thanks for the help in advance. (I also...
Hi community My aim is to get into research about atoms, specifically, I want to do experimental research that explores questions like: 1. Why do Gallium/Mercury have low melting points 2. Why are there so many exceptions and inconsistencies when it comes to explaining molecular structures / reaction mechanisms in inorganic and organic chemistry 3. Experimental research about fundamental Quantum Mechanics, such as the one being followed by Hiroshima university that proved that observing...
guys i am currently studying in computer science engineering [1st yr]. i was intrested in physics when i was in high school. due to some circumstances i chose computer science engineering degree. so i want to incoporate computer science engineering with physics and i came across computational physics. i am intrested studying it but i dont know where to start. can you guys reccomend me some yt channels or some free courses or some other way to learn the computational physics.
