That depends what type of It you are doing, Most of the stuff I have done is Diagnostic work, which really has nothing to do with common sense, it takes alot of skills and experience to be productive.


I personally think people with MIS degrees aren't to capable. No offense to them but taking 2-3 semesters of computer classes doesn't say to much. I have been told to get a Engineering degree, either EE or CS or both and get a MBA. This is by alot of people who Have the EE + MBA and they are all excessively successful.


Ive also met alot of MIS majors and they suck at what they do.
If we were just talking about sheer rigor of the major, then I would agree with you that MIS is clearly less rigorous than CS or EE.

But that's not the real issue on the table. The truth is, a lot of the rigor you can get is strictly unnecessary. Frankly, you just don't need to know a lot of the things that these rigorous programs put you through.

Of course it is true that a lot of MIS majors suck at what they do. That is why it is important to get an MIS degree at a GOOD school.
