My college has changed their Computer Infomation Systems department. Which is the best for my career? Security, Internetworking, Networking or Programming?
Security: Firewall architecture and configuration, security measures and implementing an organization’s security plan. Define and implement operating system security, database security, and application security principles
Internetworking: Design and configure internetworking devices and protocols (i.e. firewalls, routers and switches.) Troubleshoot networking/internetworking problems. Define the network management functions
Networking: Administer common client and server operating systems. Define and use directory services. Perform server administration tasks.
Programming: Develop IS applications to support business processes and web applications using C++ and JAVA programming languages

I have 7 years of sysadmin and support experience.

I've done a little bit in each of these fields, lots in networking. Programming is difficult for me, but I like doing it once I get it right. I would most like to work as a sysadmin for a medium sized company, so any of the first 3 seem appealing to me.

Hmmm, I think you should really do what you want to do. Whatever will make you happiest, and your schedule to fit, while supporting yourself and your family.

I started out in Networking. Moved to Security and ended up programming. I like programming the best because it is at my own pace. I set my own pace.
I have all kinds of time to screw around now.
Go with whatever you would rather do. Work, or programming. It's your call.

Programming is cool but security is interesting and much more challenging!!!

Well, frankly, all of them have equal Opportunities!
I'd say you should choose what you like doing.
Let your heart tell you what it wants.
Cheers.
