Not a lot of difference.. But a degree will only get you so far. Certifications are what most companies look for.. Source, I've been in IT since before you were born.. I have a degree and 46 certifications.. Take a guess which one earns me more money.

well I have no idea lol im just starting my journey
but im just curious whats the diff between computer systems and technology vs computer science what do you study the most and what not?

Computer systems and technology might be a bit more useful to you, it gives you a practical understanding of computers and how everything works with them, computer science is about theory, and the science of how a computer works and the like, as well as the history behind it.

Neither give you a specialized understanding of hardware, software, programming, or really anything..

I've worked with computer science majors that didn't understand how to turn a computer on, or basic things like were ram, a hard drive, and a cpu hoes..
