Information Systems Management degree right after B.S. economics?
If it is from a top-3 national program, would an Inf. Sys. management Masters program make any sense, or would no one hire me because my undergraduate degree is in economics? (about 50% of their students do have less than 1 year of full-time work experience)

Additional qualifications can never hurt you. Plus, trust me, if you're getting a M.S. in anything you'll definitely make up for the lack of a undergraduate background in that field. Just having the M.S. shows that you're equipped to learn what you don't know. As I see it, if I was hiring an economist, a little technical expertise would, if anything, be a plus (maybe you can write your own code for simulations, or you better understand the technology used to help you make decisions) - then again, I don't work in economics, so maybe another poster can validate this. Plus, to top it all off, in case you couldn't get a job in economics, then you have a fallback - computer programming/administration. A developer/administrator with a little business education is always a plus (you are better equipped to make economically smart decisions - better cost/value and/or better futureproofing), and it makes you a stronger candidate should you choose to become management at any point.

Is it better to pursue a Masters or Science or MBA
Is it better to pursue a Masters or Science or MBA?
I'm about to graduate with a Bachelors in Finance and am looking into the options of a further degree. I was interested in the Masters degree in management information systems because i am really interested in that stuff and would complement my finance degree well. I am also considering an MBA, but I was wondering if anyone had any insight into which is better... I heard that if I pursue an MBA, some of the material will be the same as with my undergrad degree. Also, does a Masters or MBA have more job opportunities and which one can you get a larger salary with? Masters "of" Science

Business Degree,can be used with so many other Degrees.

My impression is that with a degree in either of those areas you could get a good job. Looking to the future, I think it would be difficult to say which degree would make you the most money. One thought, either of these degrees might allow you to take courses that touch upon the other one's area. For instance, I'm sure that there are business aspects information systems, and there are information systems aspects to management, finance and quantitative analysis. So with whichever you decide to go with, you could try to emphacize the aspect that most interests you. Once you are out in the job market, there is less emphasis on what degree you have than on what skills you have that produce results.

Is a Masters in Computer Science from University of Illinois Springfield employable
Is a Masters in Computer Science from University of Illinois Springfield employable?
I am looking at the University of Illinois at Springfield for a Masters degree in Computer Science. I am also looking at a Masters degree in Management Information Systems from Northern Illinois University. Would these degrees provide me with many opportunities for employment?

These may be more employable than any other degree. Almost every company in the world has computers to make daily business move more efficiently. People with any type of Computer Science or IT college training are in a good position to make a bunch of money. I don't have my degree but I worked for Hewlett Packard for years down in Houston. The IT support people made really great money. The computer Science guys made even more because they were trained to deal with the huge servers we had linking everything. Get some training to go with your Masters Degree. You can easily make over a 100 grand a year with your Masters and some training. I don't know were a Management Information Systems degree will take you. If has anything to do with computers it's a good choice as well.
