Infosci major trying to find out what to specialize in

I’m a transfer student and currently a junior majoring in Information Science. I’ve been hearing some worrying things about my major, and while I understand the whole “it is what you make it” perspective, I’m curious about what the job market actually looks like.
I specialized in cybersecurity at my community college, so I was considering pursuing the cybersecurity track within my major. However, it seems like data science might be more lucrative. Which track would give me the best chance of landing a job right out of college? At the career fair, it seemed like everyone was looking for data science candidates, even within my major.
I’m not big on coding—in fact, I actually hate it—so I’m wondering what career options I have with this degree. Is it realistic to land a six-figure job right out of college, or at least a job with a decent starting salary?

Are there any jobs on campus?

I’m a transfer student and I’m starting in a couple weeks and I’m looking to get a part time desk job. Like 10 hours a week since I’ll be commuting but does this school even have those? I can’t do fast food or anything and where would I even find it?

Info Sci books

Hey guys I’m an incoming info sci major and my bill is saying around 650 for books. That lowkey sounds ridiculous but if there are any other infosci majors that know if books are that expensive let me know.

What do rehearsal schedules look like for plays?

Hey guys! I’m a transfer student starting in the fall and I want to audition for the plays for this year. I know auditions for the spring productions are around October and I’m gonna be living of campus. So say I get a part how often are the rehearsals and are they at night? I’m just trying to see if the commute plus work will be doable.
