Hi, I am considering on completing a CIS degree in four years, but I want more convincing information. I'm afraid that when I finish my four years of school that I'm not going to find a job or be stuck doing menial work at a help desk. I know there are supposed to be plenty of career opportunities for CIS majors, but I'm having a hard time pinpointing jobs (a google-search of "jobs for CIS majors" result with relatively nothing, as compared to a nurse or something) -A lot of jobs require a degree in "Computer science or related field", does a CIS degree count in the related field? -I know I'm probably not going to hit the CIS manager job soon after I graduate, but what are some decent jobs I'm likely to get. -What can/should I do while I'm in school to give me an edge over other CIS students and CS majors? (I heard some CIS majors lose jobs to CS) -I'm thinking about getting an Master's of Business Administration in addition to completing the CIS degree. How helpful would that be? More info/questions added if needed

Well, you may have hit on the problem. I do not know what a CIS degree entails. I know what a CS degree is about and what an IT degree is about, but CIS almost seems to be a hybrid. That is perhaps one reason that you aren't finding anything. And understand that CS and IT, while related, are different. CS tends to be more computer hardware and operating system centered while IT tends to be more info tech use and application, think 'software engineer'. As in any field, a masters never hurts. But you might consider something a little more specialized than an MBA. Everyone has an MBA. Choose a graduate program that sets you a little apart such as a Masters in Information Systems.
