I hate to break this to you, but...
The reason that everyone is abandoning computer science is becuase the pay is dropping so fast. I recently read an article in which most people with computer science degrees (typically IS/IT people) are making something like 40% less money today than 5 years ago.
The real issue is that people in India and China can do the same job for a lot less pay than we do here in the US. That means that companies are not paying for IS or IT people here - they outsource it to India for much cheaper. And when they do hire people here, they do it for much less than they used to pay. The job market and pay scale have gotten so bad that a lot of people with computer science degrees are looking for another career.
