I was just meaning that it all depends on what you want to prepare for. A CS degree doesn't teach you anything you need to know about how the business world needs to use computers, and a CIS degree does. I think both degrees leave a lot to the individual to learn, it just depends on what you want to learn in school and what you want to learn on your own time/on the job.
it depends on what you want to do

All the comments I have read support a CS major if you want to be a programmer, and to a certain extent I agree. But remember what you learn in each degree. In CS you learn the technical aspects of programming. In CIS you learn how Businesses need/use computers. So if you want to come out of college knowing how to write a compiler and other higher technical things, then CS is the way to go. If you want to come out of college knowing how an accounting system works so you can program it, CIS is the way to go. also, your resume isn't just your degree, its your experience. If programming comes easy to you, learn that in your spare time and do the CIS, if business stuff is intuitive then do the CS path.
hello johns! thanks for the wonderful music! I had a question about two songs. in 'snowball in Hell' you say: "my fantasy is in a Xerox shop..." and in 'sleeping in the flowers' you say "I've got a crush - copy shop clerk - but she won't look up at me." Is this copy shop clerk a real person?
keep up the good work! your music is the best!
