Major in one, Minor in the other

CS vs CIS
·
· Score: 1
I majored in CIS (MIS at my school) and minored in CS. I much preferred the CS side, but it was too late to switch majors when I came to that realization, and it was a process to get in to my business school.
When I finally stared interviewing for jobs, I only pursued CS jobs with any rigorousness. On more than one occasion, the personal skills and professionalism I learned in a good business school more than made up for my lack of CS knowledge. I made big impressions in my interviews based on that.
Moral of the story: Don't switch. The switching will waste time. Start working on a minor in CIS or another business related field. It will help you in work, and it will help if you ever pursue an MBA.
